About yarn; (not sewing thread), of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not put up for retail sale

HS code 550962 covers the production of yarn made from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, mixed primarily or solely with cotton. This type of yarn is widely used in the textile and apparel industries, as it offers a range of desirable properties such as durability, warmth, and ease of care. The yarn described by this code plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, connecting raw material suppliers, textile manufacturers, and ultimately, consumers of a wide variety of textile products.

Production process

The production of yarn covered by HS code 550962 typically involves several key steps. First, the acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers and cotton fibers are blended and prepared for spinning. The fibers are then spun into yarn using specialized machinery, such as ring spinning or open-end spinning systems. The resulting yarn may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing, twisting, or plying, to achieve the desired characteristics and meet the specific requirements of the end-use application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under HS code 550962 include acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, cotton fibers, and various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing processes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized spinning machinery, such as spindles, drafting systems, and winding equipment, as well as energy sources and water for processing and finishing the yarn.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 550962 is yarn that can be used in a wide range of textile applications, including 550921 Woven fabrics of cotton, 550931 Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, and 551511 Woven fabrics containing predominantly, but < 85% polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. This yarn may also be consumed by the 551321 Woven fabrics of polyester staple fibres, containing < 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, of a weight not exceeding 170 g/m² industry, among others.
