Artificial staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning
HS v2022 Code: 5507
About artificial staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning
HS code 5507 covers the classification of artificial staple fibres, which are an essential component in the textile and apparel industries. These man-made fibres are produced from synthetic polymers and play a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing a versatile and cost-effective alternative to natural fibres. The artificial staple fibre industry is a significant contributor to the broader manufacturing sector, supporting a wide range of downstream applications and contributing to the overall economic growth.
Production process
The production of artificial staple fibres under HS code 5507 typically involves a multi-step process. First, synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, are extruded into continuous filaments. These filaments are then cut into short, uniform lengths, known as staple fibres. The staple fibres are then carded, a process that aligns and separates the individual fibres, and may be further combed to improve their quality and consistency. Finally, the processed staple fibres are ready for spinning, weaving, or other textile manufacturing processes.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of artificial staple fibres under HS code 5507 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, cutting, carding, and combing. Additionally, energy sources, water, and various chemical additives may be necessary to ensure the desired properties and quality of the final product.
Production outputs
The primary output of the artificial staple fibre industry under HS code 5507 is the processed staple fibres themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These fibres are commonly used in the production of 5205 Cotton yarn, 5509 Yarn of man-made staple fibres, and 5512 Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, among other textile and apparel products. The versatility of artificial staple fibres allows them to be integrated into a diverse array of manufacturing processes and end-use applications.
