About yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of acrylic or modacrylic, not put up for retail sale

HS code 550931 covers a specific type of yarn made from synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic. This yarn is an essential raw material for the textile and apparel industries, contributing to the production of a wide range of fabrics and garments. As a key component in the global supply chain, the trade and production of this yarn play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of yarn covered under HS code 550931 typically involves several key steps. First, the synthetic staple fibers, such as acrylic or modacrylic, are spun into continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted together to form the single-ply yarn. The yarn may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing or finishing, to meet specific requirements before being distributed for further manufacturing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under HS code 550931 include synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic, as well as specialized machinery for spinning, twisting, and finishing the yarn. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, and water for processing and dyeing may be necessary inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 550931 is the single-ply yarn made from synthetic staple fibers containing 85% or more acrylic or modacrylic. This yarn is then consumed by various downstream industries, such as the 550921 (Yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of polyester, not put up for retail sale) and 550941 (Yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of synthetic staple fibres, not put up for retail sale, n.e.c. in heading no. 5509), which use it to produce a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles.
