About fabrics, woven; unbleached or bleached, containing less than 85% by weight of artificial staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair

HS code 551631 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is unbleached or bleached, containing less than 85% by weight of artificial staple fibers, and mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair. This fabric is an important component in the textile and apparel industries, as it provides a versatile and durable material for a wide range of applications, from clothing to home furnishings. The production and trade of this fabric play a significant role in the global economy, with many countries relying on its export and import to support their textile manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of the fabric covered by HS code 551631 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which include artificial staple fibers and wool or fine animal hair, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using specialized weaving machines. The fabric is then either left unbleached or undergoes a bleaching process to remove any natural coloration. The final step may involve additional finishing treatments, such as dyeing or printing, to create the desired aesthetic and functional properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the fabric covered by HS code 551631 include artificial staple fibers, wool or fine animal hair, and various chemicals and dyes used in the weaving and finishing processes. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery and equipment are necessary to manufacture the fabric to the required specifications. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production resources can significantly impact the overall output and competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 551631 is the woven fabric itself, which can be used in a wide range of textile and apparel products. This fabric may be further processed or combined with other materials to create finished goods, such as clothing, upholstery, and home textiles. Other industries that may consume the output of this industry include 520100 Wool, not carded or combed, 550320 Artificial staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, and 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, among others.
