About yarn; metallised, whether or not gimped, of textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading no. 5404 or 5405, combined with metal in the form of thread, strip or powder or covered with metal

HS code 5605 covers a specialized category of yarn that combines textile fibers with metal. This type of yarn is used in a variety of applications, from high-fashion textiles to industrial products. Its unique properties, such as enhanced strength, conductivity, and aesthetic appeal, make it an important component in many global supply chains. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on advanced materials, the demand for HS 5605 yarn continues to grow, underscoring its significance within the broader textile and manufacturing industries.

Production process

The production of HS 5605 yarn typically involves a process known as metallization. This process involves coating or combining textile fibers, such as 5402 Synthetic filament yarn, 5501 Synthetic staple fibers, or 5601 Wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns, twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof, with a thin layer of metal, such as gold, silver, or copper. The metal can be applied in the form of thread, strip, or powder, and the resulting yarn can be further processed, such as by gimping (wrapping with another yarn) or other techniques, to enhance its properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 5605 yarn include the textile fibers, the metallic components (thread, strip, or powder), and specialized machinery for the metallization and subsequent processing of the yarn. Manufacturers may also require access to a reliable supply of energy, water, and other utilities to support the production process. Additionally, skilled labor, quality control measures, and efficient logistics and transportation networks are essential for the successful production and distribution of HS 5605 yarn.

Production outputs

HS 5605 yarn is used in a wide range of applications, including high-end fashion and textiles, decorative accessories, and industrial products. The unique properties of this yarn, such as its metallic sheen, conductivity, and enhanced strength, make it a valuable input for industries like 5804 Tulles and other net fabrics; lace, in the piece, in strips or in motifs, 5806 (Narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading no. 5807; narrow fabrics consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs)), and 5809 Woven fabrics of metal thread and woven fabrics of metallised yarn of heading no. 5605, of a kind used in apparel, as furnishing fabrics or for similar purposes, not elsewhere specified or included.
