About fabrics, woven; of carded wool or carded fine animal hair, containing less than 85% by weight of wool or fine animal hair, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments

HS code 511120 covers a specific category of woven fabrics that are composed of carded wool or carded fine animal hair, with less than 85% of wool or fine animal hair content. These fabrics are typically blended with man-made filaments, creating a unique and versatile textile material. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing a range of high-quality fabrics for various applications, from clothing to home furnishings.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 511120 involves a series of specialized techniques. First, the wool or fine animal hair fibers are carded, a process that aligns and cleans the fibers. These carded fibers are then blended with man-made filaments, such as polyester or nylon, through a process called mixing or blending. The blended fibers are then spun into yarns, which are subsequently woven into the final fabric using advanced weaving machinery. The weaving process can involve various techniques, such as plain weave, twill, or satin, to create the desired fabric structure and appearance.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of fabrics under HS code 511120 are carded wool or carded fine animal hair, such as cashmere or mohair, as well as man-made filaments like polyester or nylon. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, including carding machines, spinning equipment, and weaving looms, to transform the raw materials into the final woven fabric. Other supporting inputs may include dyes, finishing chemicals, and energy sources to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of the industry covered by HS code 511120 is the woven fabric itself, which can be used in a variety of applications. These fabrics may be consumed by the 611000 Apparel, knitted or crocheted industry for the production of clothing, or by the 630100 Blankets and traveling rugs industry for the manufacture of home textiles and furnishings. The versatility of these fabrics also allows them to be used in the 420100 Saddlery and harness and 940400 Mattresses; mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings industries.
