Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 520622 when importing or exporting cotton yarn that contains less than 85% cotton by weight and is not packaged for retail sale. For example, a shipment of single cotton yarn, made from combed fibers, is classified under this code if it meets the specified decitex range.

This code specifically covers single cotton yarn that is not intended for sewing thread and falls within a decitex range of 232.56 to 714.29. If you have yarn that exceeds 85% cotton, you would need to look at a different classification, such as HS-6 520611 for yarn with a higher cotton content.

Cotton yarn classified under 520622 is often used in textiles for industrial applications, such as making fabrics or for weaving purposes. If you are dealing with yarn that is packaged for retail sale, you would instead use a different HS code, likely in the 5207 range.

When considering this HS code, be mindful of the weight and composition requirements. If your product is a blended yarn with a higher percentage of synthetic fibers, it may fall under another classification entirely.
