About embroidery; in the piece, in strips or in motifs

HS code 5810 covers a diverse range of embroidered textile products, including embroidered fabrics, trimmings, and motifs. This industry plays a vital role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing decorative and value-added elements to a wide range of consumer and industrial products. Embroidery is a centuries-old craft that has evolved with technological advancements, making it an important part of both traditional and modern textile manufacturing.

Production process

The production of embroidered textiles typically involves several key steps. First, the base fabric is prepared, which may involve weaving, knitting, or other textile manufacturing processes. The design is then digitized and programmed into an embroidery machine, which uses needles and colored threads to stitch the pattern onto the fabric. Depending on the complexity of the design, this process may involve multiple color changes and intricate stitching patterns. Finally, the embroidered fabric may undergo additional finishing steps, such as trimming, washing, or dyeing, to achieve the desired appearance and quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the embroidery industry include base fabrics (such as 5208 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m², 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, or 6006 Knitted or crocheted fabrics), embroidery threads (often made from cotton, polyester, or rayon), and specialized embroidery machinery. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, design software, and various finishing chemicals and equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the embroidery industry are embroidered fabrics, trimmings, and motifs, which are then used in the production of a wide range of textile and apparel products. These may include clothing, home furnishings, accessories, and industrial textiles. The embroidered outputs from HS code 5810 are often consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 6214 Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like, 6302 Bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen, and 9404 Mattress supports; articles of bedding and similar furnishing, among others.
