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

HS code 551090 covers a wide range of yarn products made from artificial staple fibers, primarily mixed with other non-wool, non-animal hair, and non-cotton fibers. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a diverse range of fabrics and garments. The demand for these yarns is driven by factors such as changing consumer preferences, advancements in textile technology, and the need for cost-effective and sustainable textile solutions.

Production process

The production of yarns covered under HS code 551090 typically involves a series of processes, including fiber preparation, spinning, and finishing. Fibers are first cleaned, blended, and carded to align the fibers in a parallel orientation. The prepared fibers are then spun into continuous yarn using techniques such as ring spinning, open-end spinning, or air-jet spinning. Finally, the yarn may undergo various finishing processes, such as dyeing, heat-setting, or winding, to impart desired properties and prepare the yarn for further textile manufacturing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarns under HS code 551090 include artificial staple fibers, such as polyester, rayon, or acetate, as well as other non-wool, non-animal hair, and non-cotton fibers. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, winding machines, and dyeing equipment, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing processes.

Production outputs

The yarns produced under HS code 551090 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of fabrics, including woven, knitted, and non-woven textiles. These fabrics are then further processed into a variety of end-products, such as clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. Some of the related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, 540769 Other woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, and 540769 Other woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn.
