HS-6 550953: Yarn; (not sewing thread), of polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not put up for retail sale

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 550953 when importing or exporting yarn made from polyester staple fibres mixed primarily with cotton. This could include bulk shipments of yarn intended for textile manufacturing, such as for clothing or home textiles.

This code specifically covers yarn that is not packaged for retail sale, distinguishing it from other yarns that may be sold in skeins or hanks. For example, if you have a shipment of polyester-cotton blended yarn in large spools for industrial use, this is the correct classification.
