HS-6 520624: Cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of combed fibres, less than 85% by weight of cotton, less than 192.31 but not less than 125 decitex (exceeding 52 but not exceeding 80 metric number), not for retail sale

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 520624 when importing or exporting cotton yarn that contains less than 85% cotton by weight. This code specifically applies to single yarns made from combed fibers, such as those used in textile manufacturing, where the yarn is not intended for retail sale. For instance, a shipment of yarn used for making upholstery fabric would fall under this classification.

This code is distinct from HS-6 520625, which covers similar cotton yarn but is specifically for yarns with a higher cotton content. If your yarn contains 85% or more cotton, you would need to classify it differently. Understanding the cotton content is crucial for accurate HS classification.

The 520624 subheading narrows down the category to single yarns of combed fibers, specifically those with a decitex between 125 and 192.31. This means if your product is a single strand of yarn, such as that used in weaving or knitting, and meets the specified decitex range, it should be classified under this code.

When dealing with cotton yarn, it’s important to consider the intended use and the fiber composition. If you have mixed yarns or those packaged for retail, they may fall under different classifications. Always check the specific fiber content and packaging to ensure compliance.
