About HS Code 520547

This HS code covers extremely fine, multiple or cabled cotton yarn, not sewing thread, of combed fibres, with 85% or more cotton by weight, and a fineness between 106.37 and 83.33 decitex (95 to 120 metric number) per single yarn, not for retail sale. This yarn represents the pinnacle of cotton spinning quality, with extensive combing ensuring unparalleled smoothness, strength, and purity, making it ideal for the most luxurious and lightweight fabrics. It is predominantly used in high-fashion apparel, such as ultra-fine shirting, exquisite lingerie, and premium babywear, as well as exceptionally high-thread-count bed linens. Global trade sees this specialized yarn supplied by a select group of advanced spinning mills, primarily in India, China, and Pakistan, to high-end textile manufacturers in Europe, Japan, and North America. The market demands absolute precision in yarn count, minimal imperfections, and consistent performance for sophisticated weaving and knitting applications.
