About fabrics, woven; of flax, containing 85% or more flax, unbleached or bleached

HS code 530911 covers woven fabrics made primarily from flax, containing 85% or more flax content. These fabrics are unbleached or bleached, and are an important component in the global textile and apparel industry. Flax-based textiles are valued for their durability, breathability, and natural luster, making them a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial uses.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 530911 typically involves a multi-step process. First, flax fibers are harvested, retted, and processed into yarn. The yarn is then woven into a fabric using traditional weaving techniques, such as shuttle looms or modern air-jet or rapier looms. The woven fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as bleaching, to achieve the desired appearance and characteristics.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 530911 fabrics is flax, a natural fiber crop. Flax is typically grown in temperate climates and requires specific growing conditions to produce high-quality fibers. In addition to the raw flax material, the production process also requires weaving machinery, such as looms, as well as various chemicals and auxiliaries for finishing the fabrics.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 530911 are primarily used in the manufacture of 650610 Clothing, 940430 Bedding, and 630900 Textile articles for technical uses. These flax-based textiles are valued for their natural properties and are often used in high-end or specialty products. The output of this industry may also be consumed by 540720 Woven fabrics obtained from strip or the like and 580190 Pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 58.02 or 58.06.
