Yarn; (not sewing thread), of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic staple fibres, put up for retail sale

HS code 551110 covers the production and sale of synthetic staple fiber yarn, a critical component in the global textile and apparel industry. This yarn is composed of at least 85% synthetic fibers by weight and is typically put up for retail sale. The demand for this type of yarn is driven by its versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice for a wide range of textile applications, from clothing to home furnishings.

The production of synthetic staple fiber yarn (551110) involves several key steps. First, synthetic fibers, such as polyester or nylon, are extruded and cut into short lengths, known as staple fibers. These fibers are then cleaned, blended, and carded to align them in a parallel orientation. The carded fibers are then drawn and twisted to form the continuous yarn, which is then wound onto bobbins or packages for further processing or retail sale.

The main inputs required for the production of synthetic staple fiber yarn (551110) include synthetic fibers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as various chemicals and additives used in the fiber preparation and yarn formation processes. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, carding machines, and spinning frames, are essential for the efficient production of this type of yarn.

The primary output of HS code 551110 is synthetic staple fiber yarn, which is a versatile material used in a wide range of textile applications. This yarn may be further processed or woven into fabrics for the production of clothing, home textiles, and industrial products. Other industries that may consume the output of 551110 include 540200 Synthetic filament yarn and 550320 Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning.
