About yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple (folded) or cabled yarn, of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of nylon or other polyamides, not put up for retail sale
HS code 550912 covers a specific type of synthetic yarn that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This yarn, made from synthetic staple fibers containing 85% or more nylon or other polyamides, is an essential raw material for the production of a variety of fabrics and garments. Its importance lies in its durability, strength, and versatility, making it a crucial component in the global supply chain for textiles and related products.
Production process
The production of HS code 550912 yarn involves several key steps. First, the synthetic staple fibers, typically nylon or other polyamides, are spun into individual yarn strands. These strands are then twisted or plied together to create the multiple (folded) or cabled yarn structure. The twisting and cabling processes help to enhance the yarn's strength and stability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 550912 yarn include the synthetic staple fibers, typically nylon or other polyamides, as well as specialized machinery for spinning, twisting, and cabling the yarn. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure the quality of the final product.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 550912 is the multiple (folded) or cabled yarn, which is then used as a raw material in the production of various textile and apparel products.
