About fabrics, woven; unbleached or bleached, of artificial staple fibres, n.e.c. in heading no. 5516

HS code 551691 covers woven fabrics made from artificial staple fibers that are unbleached or bleached. These fabrics are an essential component in the textile and apparel industries, providing a versatile and durable material for a wide range of applications. As a key part of the global textile supply chain, the production and trade of these fabrics play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551691 typically involves a multi-step process. First, artificial staple fibers are spun into yarn, which is then woven into a fabric using looms. The fabric is then either left unbleached or undergoes a bleaching process to remove any natural coloration. This results in a clean, uniform base material that can be further processed or dyed as needed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 551691 fabrics include artificial staple fibers, such as viscose or acetate, as well as weaving machinery and equipment. Additionally, chemicals and dyes may be used in the bleaching and finishing processes. The availability and cost of these raw materials and production resources can significantly impact the overall supply and pricing of these fabrics.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 551691 are primarily used as inputs for the production of a wide range of textile and apparel products. These fabrics may be further processed, dyed, or finished to meet the specific requirements of downstream industries, such as 540741 Fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of filament yarns of nylon or other polyamides, 540751 Fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, and 540761 Fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments. The versatility of these fabrics makes them an essential component in the global textile supply chain.
