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 staple fibres

HS code 511230 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is composed of combed wool or combed fine animal hair, with less than 85% of the total weight being wool or fine animal hair. The remainder of the fabric is made up of man-made staple fibers. This fabric type is widely used in the textile and apparel industries, as it combines the natural properties of wool or fine animal hair with the versatility and cost-effectiveness of man-made fibers. The global market for these types of fabrics is significant, with applications ranging from high-end fashion to industrial textiles.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 511230 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the wool or fine animal hair is combed to align the fibers and remove any impurities. The combed fibers are then blended with man-made staple fibers, such as polyester or acrylic, in the desired proportions. The blended fibers are then spun into yarn, which is subsequently woven into the final fabric. The weaving process can involve various techniques, such as plain weave, twill, or satin, depending on the desired characteristics of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 511230 include combed wool or fine animal hair, man-made staple fibers, and specialized textile machinery. The quality and characteristics of the raw materials, such as the fiber length, fineness, and crimp, can significantly impact the final fabric properties. Additionally, the weaving equipment, including looms and related accessories, plays a crucial role in determining the fabric's structure, texture, and overall quality.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 511230 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, upholstery, and industrial textiles. These fabrics may be further processed or combined with other materials to create garments, home furnishings, or specialized industrial applications.
