About fabrics, woven; of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of polyester staple fibres, unbleached or bleached

HS code 551211 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, primarily polyester. These fabrics are a crucial component in the global textile and apparel industry, providing the raw material for a wide range of products, from clothing to home furnishings. The demand for these fabrics is driven by factors such as population growth, rising disposable incomes, and changing consumer preferences, making this industry an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551211 typically involves a multi-step process. First, polyester staple fibers are spun into yarn, which is then woven into a fabric using specialized looms. The fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551211 include polyester staple fibers, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on various chemicals, dyes, and finishing agents, as well as specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, weaving looms, and finishing equipment. The availability and cost-effectiveness of these inputs can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of the industry.
