About fabrics, woven; of polyester staple fibres n.e.c. in chapter 55, mixed mainly or solely with viscose rayon staple fibres

HS code 551511 covers woven fabrics made primarily from a blend of polyester staple fibers and viscose rayon staple fibers. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing a versatile and durable fabric material for a wide range of end-use applications. The production and trade of these fabrics are closely tied to the broader trends and dynamics of the 5515 Man-made staple fibre fabrics industry.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551511 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the polyester and viscose rayon staple fibers are blended and spun into yarn. The yarns are then woven into a fabric using various weaving techniques, such as plain weave, twill, or satin. The woven fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or calendering, to impart specific properties or aesthetic characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551511 include polyester staple fibers, viscose rayon staple fibers, and various chemicals and auxiliaries used in the weaving and finishing processes. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, and other supporting equipment are essential for the manufacturing of these fabrics.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551511 are primarily used in the manufacturing of a wide range of textile and apparel products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. These fabrics may be further processed or consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 6004 Knitted or crocheted fabrics, n.e.c. in heading no. 6001, 6005 (Warp knit fabrics (including those made on galloon knitting machines), n.e.c. in heading no. 6001), and 6006 Fabrics, knitted or crocheted, n.e.c. in chapter 60.
