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

HS code 551229 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, containing 85% or more by weight of acrylic or modacrylic fibers, excluding unbleached or bleached fabrics. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential materials for the production of a wide range of clothing, upholstery, and other textile-based products. The demand for these fabrics is driven by factors such as consumer preferences, fashion trends, and the growing need for durable, high-quality textiles across various industries.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551229 typically involves several key steps. First, the synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using specialized weaving machines. The woven fabric may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing, printing, or finishing, to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities. The use of advanced technologies and automation in the weaving and finishing processes helps ensure consistent quality and efficiency in the production of these fabrics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551229 include synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the dyeing and finishing processes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, to transform the yarns into the desired woven fabric. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also essential inputs for the efficient operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 551229 is woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, containing 85% or more by weight of acrylic or modacrylic fibers. These fabrics are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 611000 Apparel, knitted or crocheted, 620000 Apparel, not knitted or crocheted, and 630000 Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags, where they are used in the production of a wide range of clothing, upholstery, and other textile-based products.
