HS-6 520635 covers uncombed cotton yarns that contain less than 85% cotton by weight and are not packaged for retail sale, such as bulk yarns used in textile manufacturing.

How do I know if my cotton yarn qualifies for HS-6 520635?

Check the fiber content to ensure it is less than 85% cotton and confirm that it is not packaged for retail sale. If it meets these criteria, it should qualify.

What is the significance of the decitex measurement?

Decitex measures the linear density of the yarn. For HS-6 520635, the yarn must be less than 125 decitex, which indicates it is exceeding an 80 metric number.

Can I use HS-6 520635 for yarns intended for retail?

No, HS-6 520635 is specifically for yarns not put up for retail sale. Retail yarns would require a different classification.

Are there any specific packaging requirements for HS-6 520635?

Uncombed cotton yarn is made from shorter fibers and is less smooth than combed yarn, which is made from longer, smoother fibers and is typically used for higher quality textiles.

How can I ensure compliance with customs for HS-6 520635?

Ensure accurate documentation of the yarn's fiber content and intended use. Consulting with a customs broker can help clarify any classification questions.

HS-6 520635: Cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple or cabled, of uncombed fibres, less than 85% by weight of cotton, less than 125 decitex (exceeding 80 metric number) per single yarn, not for retail sale

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 520635 when importing or exporting cotton yarn that contains less than 85% cotton by weight and is not packaged for retail sale. An example would be a shipment of multiple or cabled cotton yarns used in textile manufacturing.

This code specifically applies to uncombed cotton yarns that are less than 125 decitex, which translates to exceeding an 80 metric number. If you have yarns that are primarily made of synthetic fibers or are packaged for retail, you will need to look at different HS codes.

In contrast to HS-6 520634, which covers similar yarns but with a higher cotton content, HS-6 520635 is focused on those with a lower cotton percentage. This distinction is crucial for proper classification and duty assessment.

When dealing with cotton yarns, it's essential to note that the classification hinges on both the fiber composition and the intended use. If your yarn is intended for retail sale, it would fall under a different heading altogether.
