Jute and other textile bast fibres (not flax, true hemp and ramie), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of these fibres, including yarn waste and garnetted stock
HS v2022 Code: 5303
About jute and other textile bast fibres (not flax, true hemp and ramie), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of these fibres, including yarn waste and garnetted stock
HS code 5303 covers a range of natural textile fibres, primarily jute, that are used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications. These bast fibres are valued for their strength, durability, and sustainability, making them an important component of the global textile and manufacturing industries. The production and trade of these fibres play a significant role in the economies of several developing countries, particularly in South Asia.
Production process
The production of jute and other bast fibres under HS code 5303 typically involves a multi-step process. The fibres are first harvested from the plants, then retted (a process of partial rotting) to separate the fibres from the woody stem. The fibres are then dried, cleaned, and sometimes further processed through processes like hackling, spinning, or weaving, depending on the intended end-use.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of jute and other bast fibres under HS code 5303 include the raw plant material, such as jute, kenaf, or roselle plants. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment for harvesting, retting, drying, and processing the fibres are necessary. Labour, water, and energy resources are also important inputs in this industry.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 5303 are the raw or processed bast fibres, which can be used in a wide range of applications. These fibres may be consumed by industries producing 5307 Yarn of jute or of other textile bast fibres, 5310 Woven fabrics of jute or of other textile bast fibres, or 5607 Twine, cordage, ropes and cables, among others. The waste and tow generated during the production process can also be utilized, for example, in the manufacture of 5601 Wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns; twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof.
