About fabrics, woven; of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of such fibres n.e.c. in heading no. 5512, unbleached or bleached

HS code 551291 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, containing 85% or more by weight of such fibers. These fabrics are unbleached or bleached, and are not classified elsewhere under heading 5512. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of clothing, home furnishings, and industrial products.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551291 typically involves several key steps. First, synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester or nylon, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven on looms to create the desired fabric structure. The fabrics 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 551291 include synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as weaving machinery, dyes, and other chemicals used in the finishing process. Additionally, energy, water, and skilled labor are essential resources for this industry.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551291 are primarily used as raw materials for the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed and consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 620300 (Clothing, men's or boys'; ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)), 630210 Bedlinen, woven; of man-made fibres, and 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles.
