About wool, or fine or coarse animal hair; garnetted stock

HS code 5104 covers wool, fine animal hair, and coarse animal hair that has been garnetted, a process that breaks down textile fibers into a fibrous mass. This industry is a crucial component of the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of products, from high-end clothing to industrial textiles. The demand for these fibers is driven by factors such as population growth, rising living standards, and the increasing popularity of natural and sustainable materials.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 5104 typically involves several key steps. First, the raw wool or animal hair is collected, often through shearing or combing. The fibers are then cleaned, sorted, and processed to remove impurities and prepare them for further manufacturing. The garnetting process is a crucial step, where the fibers are mechanically broken down and opened up, creating a uniform and consistent material that can be more easily spun, woven, or knitted into various textile products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 5104 include the raw wool or animal hair, which can be sourced from a variety of domestic and international suppliers. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as garnetters, combs, and sorting machines, are essential for the processing and preparation of the fibers. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also important inputs in this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 5104 are the garnetted wool, fine animal hair, and coarse animal hair fibers. These materials are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 5101 Wool, not carded or combed, 5102 Fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed, and 5105 Wool, fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed, which use these fibers as inputs for the production of various textile products, such as clothing, carpets, and industrial textiles.
