About fabrics, woven; plain weave, dyed, containing less than 85% by weight of polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, exceeding 170g/m2

HS code 551421 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This fabric is characterized by its plain weave structure, dyed coloration, and a composition of less than 85% polyester staple fibers mixed primarily or solely with cotton. With a weight exceeding 170g/m2, this fabric finds applications in a range of products, from clothing to home furnishings, making it an important component in global trade and manufacturing.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551421 involves a series of key steps. First, the polyester and cotton fibers are spun into yarns using spinning machines. These yarns are then woven together on looms to create the plain weave fabric structure. The woven fabric is then subjected to dyeing processes, where it is treated with dyes to achieve the desired color. Finally, the dyed fabric is finished, which may include processes such as calendering or heat-setting, to impart the required characteristics and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551421 include polyester and cotton fibers, as well as various dyes and chemicals used in the dyeing and finishing processes. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, and finishing equipment are essential for the manufacturing of this fabric.
