About fabrics, woven; 3- or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, unbleached or bleached, containing less than 85% by weight of polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, over 170g/m2
HS code 551412 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This fabric, characterized by its 3- or 4-thread twill weave structure, is primarily composed of polyester staple fibers mixed with cotton. With a weight of over 170g/m2, it finds applications in a range of products, from clothing to industrial textiles, making it an important component in global trade and manufacturing.
Production process
The production of fabrics under HS code 551412 involves a multi-step process. First, the polyester staple fibers and cotton fibers are blended and spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven on specialized looms, using a 3- or 4-thread twill weaving technique, which creates the distinctive diagonal pattern. The resulting fabric is then either left unbleached or undergoes a bleaching process to achieve the desired level of whiteness or brightness.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551412 include polyester staple fibers, cotton fibers, and specialized weaving machinery. The polyester and cotton fibers are typically sourced from 550320 Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning and 520100 Cotton, not carded or combed, respectively. The weaving process requires looms capable of producing the 3- or 4-thread twill structure, as well as various auxiliary equipment and chemicals for finishing the fabric.
Production outputs
Fabrics classified under HS code 551412 are primarily used in the production of clothing, such as shirts, trousers, and jackets. They may also find applications in industrial textiles, upholstery, and other textile-based products. The output of this industry may be consumed by manufacturers and retailers under various other HS codes, including 620520 Shirts, men's or boys', of cotton, 620342 Trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, men's or boys', of cotton, and 630300 (Curtains (including drapes) and interior blinds; curtain or bed valances), among others.
