About yarn; (not sewing thread), of synthetic staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, n.e.c. in heading no. 5509, not put up for retail sale

HS code 550991 covers a specialized type of yarn that combines synthetic staple fibers with wool or fine animal hair. This yarn is primarily used in the textile and apparel industries, where it is valued for its unique blend of properties, including durability, warmth, and a soft, luxurious feel. As a versatile input material, 550991 yarn plays a crucial role in the production of a wide range of high-quality fabrics and garments, contributing to the broader global textile supply chain.

Production process

The production of 550991 yarn involves a multi-step process. First, the synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester or acrylic, are blended with wool or fine animal hair, such as cashmere or mohair. This blending is typically done through a process called carding, which aligns the fibers and removes any impurities. The blended fibers are then spun into yarn using specialized spinning machinery, which can impart various characteristics to the final product, such as twist, thickness, and texture.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 550991 yarn include the synthetic staple fibers, wool or fine animal hair, and various processing equipment. The synthetic fibers, such as polyester or acrylic, are typically sourced from petrochemical manufacturers, while the wool or fine animal hair may come from specialized livestock farms or processing facilities. The production process also requires specialized spinning machinery, as well as other auxiliary equipment, such as carding machines and winding machines.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 550991 industry is the yarn itself, which is then used as an input material in the production of a wide range of textile products, including fabrics, garments, and accessories. The yarn may be consumed by manufacturers of 611000 Apparel, knitted or crocheted, 620000 Apparel, not knitted or crocheted, or 630000 Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags, among others. The unique properties of the 550991 yarn make it a valuable component in the production of high-quality, durable, and comfortable textile goods.
