Ex 5004
to 5006 |
Silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste |
|
|
|
Manufacture from :
- raw silk or silk waste carded or combed
or otherwise prepared for spinning,
- other natural fibres not carded or
combed or otherwise prepared for spinning,
- chemical materials or textile pulp,
or

|
Ex 5007 |
Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste:
- Incorporating rubber thread
|
|
|
|
Manufacture from single yarn |
|
|
|
The SACU proposal requires a double
transformation to confer origin to woven fabrics: first natural
fibres/ coir yarn/ man-made staple fibres have to transformed
into yarn, and then yarn have to be transformed into woven fabrics
Examples of the first working or
processing operations
Man-made staple fibres are
discontinuous fibres, therefore various stage of working processing
are required to produce yarn and then to produce woven fabrics.
For syntetic and artificial fibres these processes may require
further chemical modifications ( for instance orientating the
molecules in the direction of the filament) to confer or improve
certain technical characteristics.
Natural fibres require also
further processing before becoming yarn.
In the case of silk (other
than silk waste), single yarn is obtained by twisting a single
raw silk thread. In the case of silk waste, as it applies
for cotton fibres, single yarn is obtained through spinning
. Similar or other processes like weaving or combing among others
apply to vegetable textile fibres such as flax, sisal etc
The second operation is to transform
the intermediate product (the yarn) into the finished fabric.
The alternative proposal requires
a single transformation to confer origin (from yarn to fabrics)
and therefore allows the imports of yarns. The process to obtain
woven fabrics is through the interlacing of single yarns. Furthermore
woven fabric may then be unbleached, scoured, bleached, dyed,
printed, clouded, mercerised, glazed etc. |
Manufacture from:
- coir yarn,
- natural fibres,
- man-made staple fibres not carded or
combed or otherwise prepared for spinning,
- chemical materials or textile pulp,
or paper

Wadding, felt and non-wovens; special
yarns; twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof; except
for: |
The SACU proposal requires that in
order to confer origin to wadding, felt and non woven fabrics
natural fibres/ coir yarn/ man-made staple fibres have to be
pass through several processes. For wadding typical processes
involve carding and air-laying of textile fibres, superimposition
and compression of these carded fibres and punching to increase
cohesion. For felt may also include moistening, rubbing or beating
action.
The alternative proposal allows the
utilisation of imported yarn to make products of headings 5607-
5608- 5609 (cordage, rope, cables etc) |

|
|
Ex
5602 |
Felt, whether or not impregnated, coated,
covered or laminated |
Felt is usually produced from
wool or other animal hair or from a combination of the two. The
production requires superimposing a number of layers of textile
fibres, these are then moistened and subjected to heavy pressure
and a rubbing or beating action |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Needle-loom felt is made either
a)by punching a sheet or web of textile
staple fibres without a textile fabric base, with notched needles
or
b) by needling such textile fibres
through a base of textile fabric or other material which is finally
more or less hidden by the fibres. This process makes it possible
to obtain felt from non-felting vegetables fibres (like juta)
or man-made fibres |

However:
polypropylene filament of heading No 5402,
polypropylene fibres of heading No 5503 or 5506 or polypropylene

The SACU proposal requires a double
transformation to confer origin to cord, textile covered: first
natural fibres/ chemical materials etc, have to transformed into
yarn, and then yarn is utilised in the making of rubber thread
and cord, textile covered etc However further processing is required
to incorporate yarn into the finished product. Textiles yarns
may need to be impregnated, coated, covered, or sheathed with
rubber or plastic and this may require processes such as gimping,
plaiting, (interlacing of textiles on rubber or plastics) surface
treatment, twisting, cabling among others
The alternative proposal requires
a single transformation to confer origin and allows the importation
of yarn. |

This heading covers yarn that undergo
a process of metallization. This generally require operations
like twisting, cabling or gimping and electro-deposition. The
gimped yarn are obtained by wrapping metal thread or strip spirally
round the textiles core which does not twist with the metal.
The SACU rule require the manufacturing
of the yarn utilised in this process.
The alternative rule allows for the
utilisation of imported yarn |

These products are composed of a
core of one or more textiles yarns, around which other yarn or
yarns are wound spirally.. The core of the gimped yarn is usually
cotton, or other vegetables and man-made fibres, while the covering
threads are generally finer or more glossy (silk, mercerised
cotton)
The SACU rule require the manufacturing
of all the yarns utilised in this process.
The alternative rule allows for the
utilisation of imported yarn that then has to be gimped: Gimping

The SACU Proposal requires that in
order to obtain origin to needle-loom felt carpets, production
process has to start from fibres (natural or chemical) and transform
fibres into felt and needle-loom felt. Then utilise felt into
carpets production. Felt carpets may then be backed or impregnated
with rubber or plastics to confer the product certain characteristics
(e.g. anti-slip properties)
The alternative rules requires that
origin is conferred to carpets when their production start from
felt/needle-loom or other felt and then felt is cut, impregnated,
coated etc. |

There
is a great variety of carpets in this category. From traditional
knotted or twisted carpets
to woven ,tufted or flocked carpets. The latter production may
require also processes like coating (with rubber or plastics)
and a process of covering or backing with woven textiles materials
(e.g. juta) to confer certain characteristics.
The SACU Proposal requires that in
order to confer origin to these carpets, the production process
has to start from fibres (natural or chemical), transform fibres
into yarn and then utilise yarn to produce carpets.

The SACU proposal requires a double
transformation to confer origin to woven fabrics: first natural
fibres/ man-made staple fibres have to transformed into yarn
(or threads), and then yarn has to be transformed into woven

The alternative proposal allows for
a single transformation to confer origin, from yarn or other
intermediate materials to fabrics classified in this heading,
and therefore allows the imports of these components. |

Textile fabrics coated with gum or amylaceous
substances, of a kind used for the outer covers of books or the like;
tracing cloth; prepared painting canvas; buckram and similar stiffened
textile fabrics of a kind used for hat foundations |
These products are generally plain
weave woven fabrics, usually of cotton, linen or man-made fibres,
heavily coated with gum or amylaceous substances (e.g. starch).
The coating (on one side of the products or on both sides)confer
special characteristics to the products, e.g. smooth surface.
In addition these products may be unbleached, bleached, dyed
or printed etc.
The
SACU rule implies that coating the woven fabrics "per se" is
not enough to confer origin since it requires also the manufacture
of the fabric from single yarn.

- Woven fabrics, of a kind commonly used
in papermaking or other technical uses, felted or not, whether
or not impregnated or coated, tubular or endless with single or
multiple warp and/or weft, or flat woven with multiple warp and/or
weft of heading No 5911
|
These products contain fabrics that
may be impregnated or coated , covered, laminated with rubber
or plastics , sheathed , felted, reinforced , bleached, dyed
or printed etc.
The first rule requires the manufacture
of the fabric from yarn to confer origin
In the alternative rule is the process
that confer origin. Therefore it allows the utilisation of imported
fabrics. |
Manufacture from the following materials:
- coir yarn,
- yarn of polytetrafluoroethylene
- yarn, multiple, of polyamide, coated
impregnated or covered with a phenolic resin,- yarn of synthetic
textile fibres of aromatic polyamides, obtained by polycondensation
of m-phenylenediamine and isophthalic acid,
- monofil of polytetrafluoroethylene
- yarn of synthetic textile fibres of
poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide,
- glass fibre yarn, coated with phenol
resin and gimped with acrylic yarn
- copolyester
monofilaments of a polyester and a resin of terephthalic acid and
1,4 cyclohexanediethanol
and isophthalic acid,
- natural fibres,
- man-made staple fibres not carded or
combed or otherwise processed for spinning, or

Knitted or crocheted fabrics |
The SACU proposal requires a double
transformation to confer origin to knitted or crocheted fabrics:
first natural fibres/ man-made fibres/chemical materials etc,
have to transformed into yarn, and then yarn have to be transformed
into fabrics
The alternative proposal requires
a single transformation to confer origin, from yarn to fabrics
or, in alternative, a combination of processes starting from
printing. The rule sets also a percentage limit on import of
unprinted fabrics.
This chapter covers a wide variety
of textiles products whose classification at heading level is
independent of their constituent materials.
Zimbabwe and Mauritius
had also advanced that they would not be able to attain double
transformation on many items, in particular synthetics. They
had also argued that member states that could meet double transformation
should be granted accelerated tariff reduction.
Mauritius and Zimbabwe requests should
be taken into account as has been the case for MMTZ |
Manufacture from:
- natural fibres,
- man-made staple fibres not carded or
combed or otherwise processed for spinning, or
- chemical materials or textile pulp
|
Manufacture from single yarn
or
Printing accompanied by at least two preparatory
or finishing operations (such as scouring, bleaching, mercerising,
heat setting, raising, calendering, shrink resistance processing,
permanent finishing, decatizing, impregnating, mending and burling)
where the value of the unprinted fabric used does not exceed 47.5%
of the ex-works price of the product |

Chapter 61 |
Articles of apparel and clothing accessories,
knitted or crocheted:
- Obtained by sewing together or otherwise
assembling, two or more pieces of knitted or crocheted fabric which
have been either cut to form or obtained directly to form
|
Knit apparel can be produced from
knit fabric (in much the same way as woven apparel is produced
from woven fabric) or it can be produced from components which
are knit directly to shape. The LDCs propose that a distinction
be made between these two categories.
(Comment from LDCs)
The SACU rules implies that to confer
origin to articles of apparel and clothing the overall process
must start from yarn. First it requires the manufacturing of
fabrics and then the manufacturing of these articles from fabric
i.e. a double transformation process
The LDC proposal envisage a distinction
of these products in two categories and origin is conferred to
each category according to a series of different processes
The Zimbabwe Proposal implies that
one stage process (from fabrics to articles of apparel and clothing)
confers origin to the final products. However the value of the
imported fabrics is subjected to a limit.
