About coconut, abaca (manila hemp or musa textilis nee), ramie and other vegetable textile fibres n.e.c., raw or processed but not spun; tow, noils and waste of these fibres (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)

HS code 530500 covers a diverse range of raw and processed vegetable textile fibres, including coconut, abaca (Manila hemp), ramie, and other fibres not elsewhere classified. These fibres are essential raw materials for various textile and manufacturing industries, contributing to the global supply chain and economic activities across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of the fibres covered under HS code 530500 typically involves harvesting, cleaning, and processing the raw materials. Depending on the specific fibre, techniques such as retting, decortication, and mechanical or chemical processing may be employed to extract and prepare the fibres for further use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the fibres under HS code 530500 include the raw plant materials, such as coconut husks, abaca plants, and ramie stems. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment for harvesting, processing, and cleaning the fibres are essential inputs. Labour, energy, and water resources are also crucial for the efficient production of these vegetable textile fibres.

Production outputs

The fibres produced under HS code 530500 are used as raw materials in various textile and manufacturing industries. They may be consumed by industries producing 530710 Yarn of jute or of other textile bast fibres, 531010 Woven fabrics of jute or of other textile bast fibres, or 570500 Other carpets and other textile floor coverings, whether or not made up, among others. The waste and by-products generated during the production process may also have secondary uses, such as in the production of paper, insulation materials, or as fuel.
