About fabrics, woven; of combed wool or combed 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 511220 covers a specific category of woven fabrics that are composed of combed wool or combed fine animal hair, with less than 85% of these natural fibers by weight. These fabrics are typically blended with man-made filaments, creating a unique textile material with a range of applications across various industries. As an important component of the global textile and apparel supply chain, this industry plays a crucial role in meeting the demand for high-quality, versatile fabrics.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 511220 involves a series of specialized techniques. The process typically begins with the combing of wool or fine animal hair, such as cashmere or mohair, to align and straighten the fibers. These combed fibers are then blended with man-made filaments, such as polyester or nylon, through a process known as spinning. The resulting yarn is then woven into a fabric using advanced weaving machinery, which can create a wide variety of patterns and textures. Finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or treatment, may be applied to the fabric to enhance its properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 511220 include combed wool or fine animal hair, man-made filaments, and specialized textile machinery. The quality and characteristics of the raw materials, such as the fiber length, fineness, and purity, play a crucial role in determining the final properties of the fabric. Additionally, the weaving equipment, including looms and associated components, must be carefully maintained and operated to ensure consistent fabric production.
