Chapter 52: Cotton
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 520632 when importing or exporting cotton yarn that contains less than 85% cotton by weight. This yarn is typically uncombed and is not packaged for retail sale. For example, you might be shipping a bulk order of multiple or cabled cotton yarn for textile manufacturing.
This code specifically covers cotton yarn with a decitex range of 714.28 to 232.56, which corresponds to a metric number of 15 to 43 per single yarn. If your yarn has a higher cotton content or is intended for retail, you would need to look at different HS codes, such as HS-6 520611 for yarn with 85% or more cotton.
When comparing to HS-6 520611, which covers cotton yarn with a higher cotton percentage, HS-6 520632 is more suitable for yarns that are less cotton-rich and often used in industrial applications. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff classification and duty assessment.
If you're dealing with cabled yarns made from uncombed fibers, this is the right classification. Ensure your product specifications align with the decitex requirements to avoid misclassification.
