About textiles; fabrics and felts, endless or fitted with linking devices, of a kind used in paper-making or similar machines, weighing 650g/m2 or more

HS code 591132 covers a specialized category of textiles used in the paper-making industry. These heavy-duty fabrics and felts are essential components in the production of paper, pulp, and other related materials. As a crucial input for a foundational industry, this code plays a significant role in the broader manufacturing and trade ecosystem.

Production process

The production of textiles under HS code 591132 typically involves weaving or felting techniques to create durable, high-density fabrics. These fabrics are often made from a combination of natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or nylon, to achieve the desired strength and weight characteristics. The fabrics may also undergo additional processing, such as heat-setting or chemical treatment, to enhance their performance in paper-making machines.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of textiles under HS code 591132 include raw materials such as cotton, polyester, or nylon fibers, as well as specialized machinery for weaving, felting, and finishing the fabrics. Additionally, various chemicals and dyes may be used to impart specific properties to the textiles, such as water resistance or dimensional stability.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 591132 is the textiles and felts used in paper-making and similar industries. These materials are essential for the production of 480100 Newsprint, 480200 Uncoated paper and paperboard, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, and 480300 Toilet or facial tissue stock, towel or napkin stock and similar paper of a kind used for household or sanitary purposes, among other paper and pulp products. The textiles produced under this code may also find applications in the manufacture of industrial filters, conveyor belts, and other specialized industrial textiles.
