About weaving machines (looms); parts including their auxiliary machinery, and accessories thereof, reeds for looms, healds and heald-frames

HS code 844842 covers a critical component of the textile manufacturing industry - weaving machines, also known as looms. These machines are responsible for interlacing warp and weft threads to create woven fabrics, a fundamental process in the production of textiles. The weaving industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential materials for clothing, home furnishings, and a wide range of industrial applications.

Production process

Weaving machines utilize a variety of techniques to produce woven fabrics. The most common method involves the use of a shuttle to pass the weft thread through the warp threads, which are held in place by the loom's reed and healds. Automated looms, such as those using the rapier or air-jet systems, have further streamlined the weaving process, allowing for increased production efficiency and the creation of more complex fabric patterns.

Production inputs

The weaving industry relies on a range of inputs, including raw materials such as cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers, as well as specialized machinery and accessories. Weaving machines themselves are complex pieces of equipment, often incorporating electronic controls, sensors, and other advanced technologies. Additionally, the industry requires various supporting components, such as reeds, healds, and heald-frames, which are essential for the proper functioning of the looms.

Production outputs

The primary output of the weaving industry is woven fabrics, which are then used in the production of a wide range of textile products. These fabrics may be further processed, dyed, or finished to meet the specific requirements of various industries, including 650000 Apparel, 940000 Furniture, and 300000 Medical. The weaving industry's output is a crucial input for many other economic sectors, highlighting its importance within the broader textile supply chain.
