Yarn of other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn

HS v2022 Code: 5308

About yarn of other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn

HS code 5308 covers a diverse range of yarn products made from vegetable textile fibres, as well as paper yarn. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide variety of fabrics, garments, and other textile-based products. The demand for these yarns is driven by factors such as consumer preferences, fashion trends, and the growing emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly textile solutions.

Production process

The production of yarns under HS code 5308 typically involves a series of processes, including fibre preparation, spinning, and finishing. Vegetable textile fibres, such as ramie, jute, or sisal, are first cleaned, sorted, and sometimes blended with other fibres to achieve desired properties. These fibres are then spun into yarns using various spinning techniques, such as ring spinning, open-end spinning, or rotor spinning. Paper yarn is produced by extruding or twisting paper into a continuous filament. The finished yarns may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing, bleaching, or treatment, to enhance their characteristics and meet specific market requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarns under HS code 5308 include the raw vegetable textile fibres, such as 5301 Flax, 5302 True hemp, 5303 Jute and other textile bast fibres, and 5305 Coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for fibre processing, spinning, and finishing operations. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, and various chemicals and auxiliaries used in the finishing processes are also important inputs.

Production outputs

The yarns produced under HS code 5308 are primarily used as inputs for the 5309 Woven fabrics of flax, 5310 Woven fabrics of jute or of other textile bast fibres, and 5311 Woven fabrics of other vegetable textile fibres; woven fabrics of paper yarn industries. These yarns can be further processed into a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. The specific end-use applications depend on the properties and characteristics of the individual yarn types.
