HS v2022 Code: 844720

About knitting machines; flat, stitch-bonding machines

HS code 844720 covers a range of knitting machines and stitch-bonding machines, which are essential equipment in the textile manufacturing industry. These machines play a crucial role in the production of a wide variety of knitted fabrics, garments, and other textile products that are in high demand globally. The knitting and stitch-bonding industry is a significant contributor to the overall textile and apparel sector, which is a major component of many countries' manufacturing and export economies.

Production process

Knitting machines and stitch-bonding machines use a variety of techniques to produce knitted fabrics and other textile products. The key production steps typically involve feeding yarn or other textile materials into the machine, which then uses a series of needles and other mechanisms to create the desired knitted or bonded structure. The specific techniques can vary depending on the type of machine and the final product being manufactured, but often include processes such as loop formation, interlocking of stitches, and the application of heat or other treatments to stabilize the fabric.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the knitting and stitch-bonding industry include high-quality yarns, such as natural fibers (e.g., 500300 Cotton, 510110 Wool) or synthetic fibers (e.g., 550320 Polyester, 540233 Nylon). Additionally, these industries rely on specialized machinery, such as 844720 Knitting machines; flat, stitch-bonding machines, as well as various accessories and consumables, such as needles, lubricants, and power sources.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the knitting and stitch-bonding industry are a wide range of knitted fabrics and textile products, including clothing, home textiles, and industrial textiles. These outputs may be further processed or consumed by other industries, such as the 610100 (Men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind-cheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, knitted or crocheted) and 630231 Bed linen, of cotton industries.
