About HS Code 520534

This category covers multiple or cabled cotton yarn, derived from uncombed fibers, with a high cotton content (85% or more by weight) and a finer count (192.30 to 125 decitex) compared to 520533. These yarns are not packaged for retail, signifying their role as an intermediate product for textile manufacturing. They are commonly used in medium-weight apparel fabrics, such as poplin, twill, and certain bed linens, where a balance of strength, durability, and a relatively smooth finish is desired. Importers are large-scale textile manufacturers and garment factories, particularly those producing everyday wear and home textiles. Exporters are typically integrated spinning operations in countries with abundant cotton resources and advanced textile infrastructure. Trade focuses on bulk orders, consistent quality, and competitive pricing.
