Chapter 52: Cotton
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 520633 when importing or exporting cotton yarn that contains less than 85% by weight of cotton, specifically in cabled or multiple forms. For instance, a shipment of uncombed cotton yarn with a decitex range of 232.55 to 192.31, intended for industrial use, falls under this code.
This HS-6 line is distinct from HS-6 520634, which covers similar yarns but with a higher cotton content. If your product has 85% or more cotton, you would classify it differently. Understanding the exact fiber composition is crucial for correct classification.
Cotton yarn classified under this code is not packaged for retail sale, meaning it’s typically sold in bulk to manufacturers or for specific industrial applications. Products like yarn for weaving or knitting in textile production are common examples.
When dealing with cotton yarn, it's important to note the fiber composition and the intended use. If you have yarn that is primarily cotton but mixed with other fibers, you may need to look at other classifications.
