About fabrics, woven; 3- or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, dyed, containing less than 85% by weight of polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, exceeding 170g/m2

HS code 551422 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This fabric is characterized by its 3- or 4-thread twill weave structure, which includes cross twill, and is dyed. It contains less than 85% polyester staple fibers by weight, with the remainder being primarily cotton. This fabric is heavier, exceeding 170 grams per square meter, making it suitable for a range of applications, from clothing to industrial textiles.

Production process

The production of HS code 551422 fabrics involves several key steps. First, the raw materials, including polyester staple fibers and cotton, are blended and spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven on specialized looms to create the desired 3- or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, weave structure. The woven fabric is then dyed to achieve the desired color. Finally, the fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as calendering or heat-setting, to improve its appearance and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 551422 fabrics include polyester staple fibers, cotton, and various dyes and chemicals used in the dyeing and finishing processes. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery, such as shuttleless looms, is necessary to create the specific twill weave structure. Other supporting equipment, such as yarn preparation machines and fabric inspection systems, are also important in the production of these fabrics.

Production outputs

HS code 551422 fabrics are primarily used in the production of clothing, such as shirts, trousers, and jackets. They may also find applications in industrial textiles, such as 630510 Sacks and bags, of a kind used for the packing of goods, 630630 Tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds; tents, and 630790 Made up articles, including dress patterns. The output of this industry can be consumed by various downstream industries, including the apparel, upholstery, and industrial textile sectors.
