Yarn (other than sewing thread) of artificial staple fibres, not put up for retail sale
HS v2022 Code: 5510
About yarn (other than sewing thread) of artificial staple fibres, not put up for retail sale
HS code 5510 covers the production of yarn made from artificial staple fibers, excluding sewing thread. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabric products. The demand for these yarns is driven by the growing need for affordable, versatile, and sustainable textile solutions across various industries, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications.
Production process
The production of yarn under HS code 5510 typically involves a series of processes, including fiber preparation, spinning, and finishing. Artificial staple fibers, such as rayon or polyester, are first cleaned, blended, and drawn into a continuous filament. This filament is then spun into yarn using techniques like ring spinning, open-end spinning, or air-jet spinning, depending on the desired yarn characteristics. The resulting yarn may undergo additional processing, such as twisting, plying, or dyeing, to enhance its strength, texture, or appearance.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5510 yarns include artificial staple fibers, such as rayon, acetate, or polyester, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the fiber preparation and finishing stages. Specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, winding machines, and dyeing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy, and water resources play a significant role in the efficient production of these yarns.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 5510 is yarn made from artificial staple fibers, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. These yarns are commonly used in the production of 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and 5408 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, as well as in the manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics, carpets, and other textile products. The versatility of these yarns allows them to be integrated into a wide range of textile applications, contributing to the overall growth and competitiveness of the global textile industry.
