HS v2022 Code: 844831

About machines, card clothing; parts and accessories

HS code 844831 covers a range of machines and equipment used in the textile industry, specifically for the production of card clothing. Card clothing is a critical component in the carding process, which is an essential step in the preparation of fibers for spinning. These machines and their associated parts and accessories play a vital role in the broader textile manufacturing ecosystem, enabling the efficient processing of raw materials into intermediate and finished textile products.

Production process

The production of machines and card clothing covered under HS code 844831 typically involves precision engineering and metalworking techniques. This includes the fabrication of various metal components, such as rollers, combs, and other intricate parts, using advanced machining processes. The assembly of these components into functional machines often requires specialized knowledge and skilled labor to ensure proper alignment, calibration, and performance.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of machines and card clothing under HS code 844831 include high-quality metals, such as steel and aluminum, as well as specialized materials like synthetic fabrics or abrasive coatings. Additionally, these industries rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, including CNC machines, welding tools, and precision measurement devices. The availability of skilled technicians and engineers is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 844831 are the machines and card clothing themselves, which are then used in the production of 520100 Cotton, not carded or combed, 520300 Cotton, carded or combed, and other textile intermediate products. These machines and components are essential for the efficient processing and preparation of raw fibers, enabling the downstream textile manufacturing industry to operate effectively.
