Products classified under HTS 5301.21.00.00
Scutched Flax Fiber for Linen Spinning
Scutched flax fibers are processed flax stalks that have undergone scutching to remove woody parts, leaving clean bast fibers ready for hackling. Classified under HTS 5301.21.00.00 as 'broken or scutched' flax, not yet spun into yarn. Used primarily as intermediate material for high-quality linen yarn production.
Broken Flax Shives for Textile Preparation
Broken flax refers to flax stems mechanically broken to separate fibers from shives (woody core), meeting the 'broken' definition in HTS 5301.21.00.00. This intermediate product is not spun and requires further cleaning for yarn production. Primarily used in linen manufacturing supply chains.
Industrial Scutched Flax for Linen Weaving Prep
Long-line scutched flax processed for industrial linen production, with woody portions removed via scutching blades. Falls under HTS 5301.21.00.00 as scutched flax not spun. Delivered in bales for further hackling before spinning into fine linen yarns.
Belgian Broken Flax for Premium Linen Yarn
Premium broken flax from Belgium, mechanically broken to preserve long fibers while removing cortex. HTS 5301.21.00.00 covers this exact processing stage before hackling. Used by high-end linen spinners for shirting and upholstery fabrics.
Scutched Dew-Retted Flax Bundles
Flax bundles dew-retted then scutched to clean fibers, meeting HTS 5301.21.00.00 broken/scutched criteria. Natural field retting followed by mechanical scutching produces consistent textile-grade fibers. Standard 20kg bales for spinning mills.
Hackle-Ready Broken Flax Straw
Flax straw broken into 30-40cm lengths for next-stage hackling, precisely fitting HTS 5301.21.00.00 definition. Industrial grade for continuous linen production lines. Clean woody shives removed but fibers not aligned.
Textile Grade Scutched Flax Long Line
Long-line flax (over 25cm fibers) scutched for textile applications, under HTS 5301.21.00.00. Selected uniform stems yield premium spinning fibers. Used exclusively for fine linen fabrics.
Water-Retted Broken Flax for Spinning Mills
Flax water-retted then broken, producing clean fibers for spinning under HTS 5301.21.00.00. Controlled retting ensures consistent quality. Packed in 45lb bales for US mills.
Northern European Scutched Flax Bales
Scutched flax from Netherlands/Belgium, standard 20kg bales for HTS 5301.21.00.00. Optimal climate produces superior fiber length. Industry standard for apparel linen.
