About yarn; (not sewing thread), of artificial staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, not put up for retail sale

HS code 551020 covers the production and trade of a specialized type of yarn made from a blend of artificial staple fibers and wool or fine animal hair. This yarn is an important input for the textile and apparel industries, as it combines the desirable properties of synthetic and natural fibers to create fabrics with unique characteristics. The global market for this yarn is driven by factors such as consumer demand for high-quality textiles, the growth of the fashion industry, and the increasing popularity of blended fabrics that offer enhanced durability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.

Production process

The production of yarn under HS code 551020 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the artificial staple fibers and wool or fine animal hair are blended and prepared for spinning. This may involve processes such as carding, combing, and drawing to align and refine the fibers. The blended fibers are then spun into yarn using specialized machinery, such as ring spinning frames or open-end spinning systems. The resulting yarn may undergo additional processing, such as twisting, plying, or dyeing, to impart the desired properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under HS code 551020 include artificial staple fibers, such as polyester or rayon, as well as wool or fine animal hair, such as cashmere or mohair. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized spinning and processing equipment, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing stages. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 551020 is the blended yarn itself, which is then consumed by various sectors, including the 520100 Woven fabrics of cotton and 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn industries. This yarn is used to produce a wide range of textile products, such as apparel, home furnishings, and industrial textiles, that benefit from the unique properties of the blended fibers.
