About wadding of textile materials and articles thereof; textile fibres, not exceeding 5 mm in length (flock), textile dust and mill neps

HS code 5601 covers a diverse range of textile materials and products, including wadding, short textile fibers, and various types of textile waste. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials and inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. The products classified under 5601 are used in applications ranging from personal care and hygiene to industrial filtration and insulation, making this a versatile and economically significant sector.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 5601 typically involves mechanical processing of textile fibers and materials. This can include carding, combing, and cutting to produce the desired short fiber lengths and wadding structures. Specialized machinery is used to clean, blend, and form the fibers into the final products, which may then undergo additional treatments such as chemical bonding or thermal processing to impart specific properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 5601 industry include a variety of natural and synthetic textile fibers, such as 5001 Silk, 5101 Wool, 5201 Cotton, and 5501 Synthetic filament. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for fiber processing, as well as chemicals and binders used in the production of certain products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 5601 industry include a wide range of textile materials and articles, such as wadding, textile fibers, and various types of textile waste and dust. These products are used as inputs in numerous other industries, including 5602 Felt, 5603 Nonwovens, 5604 Rubber thread and cord, and 5605 Metallized yarn. The versatility of these materials makes them essential components in applications ranging from personal care and hygiene to industrial filtration and insulation.
