Heading 5206 — Cotton yarn (other than sewing thread), containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale
Chapter 52: Cotton
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 520623 when importing or exporting cotton yarn that contains less than 85% cotton by weight. For instance, if you are shipping a bulk order of single-combed cotton yarn with a decitex between 192.31 and 232.56, this code applies.
This code is specifically for cotton yarn that is not intended for retail sale, distinguishing it from HS-6 520620, which covers similar yarns but may have different cotton content or retail packaging. Understanding these nuances is crucial for proper classification.
The 520623 line narrows down to single-combed cotton yarn with a specific decitex range, which is important for textile manufacturers looking for specific yarn characteristics. If your product exceeds 85% cotton, you would need to look at other classifications.
When dealing with cotton yarn, it’s essential to know the fiber composition and the intended use. For example, if your yarn is primarily for industrial use rather than consumer retail, this HS-6 code is appropriate.
