Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibres

HS v2022 Code: 5516

About woven fabrics of artificial staple fibres

HS code 5516 covers a diverse range of woven fabrics made from artificial staple fibers. These fabrics play a crucial role in the global textile and apparel industry, providing versatile and cost-effective materials for a wide array of applications. From clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles, the products under this code are in high demand worldwide, contributing significantly to international trade and economic development.

Production process

The production of woven fabrics under HS code 5516 typically involves a multi-step process. First, artificial staple fibers, such as viscose, acetate, or modal, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven on specialized looms, using various weaving techniques like plain weave, twill, or satin, to create the desired fabric structure and appearance. The woven fabrics may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5516 woven fabrics include artificial staple fibers, which serve as the primary raw material. These fibers are typically manufactured from cellulose-based materials, such as wood pulp or other plant-based sources. Additionally, the industry relies on weaving machinery, including looms and associated equipment, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing processes.

Production outputs

The woven fabrics produced under HS code 5516 are versatile and find applications in a wide range of industries. These fabrics are commonly used in the manufacture of clothing, such as shirts, dresses, and blouses, as well as in home furnishings, including curtains, upholstery, and bedding. Additionally, 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and 5408 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn may consume the output of HS code 5516 as an input for their own production processes.
