Yarn (not sewing thread), of man-made staple fibres, put up for retail sale

HS v2022 Code: 5511

About yarn (not sewing thread), of man-made staple fibres, put up for retail sale

HS code 5511 covers the classification of yarn made from man-made staple fibers, which are put up for retail sale. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of consumer and industrial products. The demand for these yarns is driven by factors such as population growth, changing fashion trends, and the increasing adoption of synthetic fabrics in various applications.

Production process

The production of yarn covered under HS code 5511 typically involves several key steps. First, the man-made staple fibers, such as polyester or acrylic, are spun into continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted or plied together to create the desired yarn structure and thickness. The yarn may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing, finishing, or treatment, to impart specific properties or characteristics before being packaged and prepared for retail sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5511 yarns include man-made staple fibers, such as polyester, acrylic, or nylon. These raw materials are sourced from the 5503 Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning and 5504 Artificial staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning industries. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, twisting machines, and packaging equipment, as well as energy, water, and other supporting resources.

Production outputs

The primary output of the HS code 5511 industry is yarn made from man-made staple fibers, which is put up for retail sale. These yarns are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 5512 Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, 5513 Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, of a weight not exceeding 170 g/m², and 5515 Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, where they are used in the production of a wide range of textile and apparel products.
