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

HS code 551011 covers the production of single yarn made from artificial staple fibers, containing 85% or more of such fibers by weight. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing a key input for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabrics and garments. The demand for this type of yarn is driven by factors such as consumer preferences, fashion trends, and the growth of the textile industry in both developed and developing economies.

Production process

The production of yarn under HS code 551011 typically involves a multi-step process. First, artificial staple fibers are spun into continuous yarn through a process called spinning. This may involve techniques such as ring spinning, open-end spinning, or air-jet spinning, depending on the desired yarn characteristics. The spun yarn is then subjected to various finishing processes, such as winding, twisting, and heat-setting, to impart the required strength, texture, and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under HS code 551011 include artificial staple fibers, such as polyester, rayon, or acetate. These raw materials are typically sourced from the 550320 Artificial staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning and 550410 Artificial staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning industries. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, winding machines, and twist-setting equipment, as well as energy, water, and labor resources.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 551011 is single yarn made from artificial staple fibers, containing 85% or more of such fibers by weight. This yarn is a key input for the 540700 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404 and 540720 Woven fabrics obtained from strip or the like of synthetic textile materials industries, which use it to produce a wide range of fabrics for the apparel, home textile, and industrial sectors.
