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

HS code 551221 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic, that contain 85% or more of these fibers by weight. 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 clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. The demand for these fabrics is driven by their durability, versatility, and ability to meet evolving consumer preferences.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551221 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the synthetic staple fibers, such as acrylic or modacrylic, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using various weaving techniques, including plain weave, twill, or satin. The fabrics may be left unbleached or undergo a bleaching process to achieve a lighter color. Finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or applying special treatments, may also be applied to the fabrics to enhance their properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551221 include synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the weaving and finishing processes. Specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, is also a critical input for this industry. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the machinery and ensure the quality of the final products.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551221 are primarily used as raw materials for the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. These fabrics may be consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 540741 Fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, including nylon, other polyamides, polyester, acrylic or modacrylic, weight more than 170 g/m², 540742 Fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, including nylon, other polyamides, polyester, acrylic or modacrylic, weight not more than 170 g/m², and 540752 Fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, including nylon, other polyamides, polyester, acrylic or modacrylic, dyed, among others.
