About weaving machines (looms); parts including their auxiliary machinery, and accessories thereof n.e.c. in item no. 8448.4
HS code 844849 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 raw materials for a wide range of consumer and industrial products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial applications such as 630500 Sacks and bags, of a kind used for the packing of goods.
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 frame. Advances in technology have led to the development of shuttleless looms, which use alternative methods such as air jets or rapiers to insert the weft thread. These modern weaving machines offer increased efficiency, higher production speeds, and greater versatility in the types of fabrics that can be produced.
Production inputs
The production of weaving machines and their components requires a range of inputs, including metal alloys for the frame and moving parts, electronic components for control systems, and specialized software for programming and operation. Additionally, the weaving industry relies on a steady supply of high-quality raw materials, such as natural and synthetic fibers, to produce the woven fabrics that are the primary output of this industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of the weaving industry, as described by HS code 844849, is woven fabrics and textiles. These materials are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries, including 610100 (Men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind-cheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, knitted or crocheted), 630210 Bedlinen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen and 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles.
