About fabrics, woven; of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres n.e.c. in chapter 55, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments

HS code 551521 covers woven fabrics made primarily from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, which are then mixed with man-made filaments. These fabrics are widely used in the textile and apparel industries, as they offer a range of desirable properties such as durability, wrinkle resistance, and ease of care. The production and trade of these fabrics play a significant role in the global textile supply chain, contributing to the broader economy through manufacturing, exports, and consumer demand.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551521 typically involves a multi-step process. First, acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using various weaving techniques, such as plain weave, twill, or satin. The resulting fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, to enhance its properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551521 include acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, man-made filaments, and various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing process. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, is necessary to transform the yarns into the final woven fabric. The availability and quality of these raw materials and equipment are crucial for the industry's productivity and competitiveness.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551521 are primarily used in the manufacture of clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed and consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 620520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton, 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, and 630260 Toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry towelling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton.
