About HS Code 520612

This HS code pertains to single cotton yarn, made from uncombed fibers, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, indicating a blend with other fibers (e.g., synthetics). It falls within a medium-coarse count range (less than 714.29 but not less than 232.56 decitex) and is not for retail sale. These blended yarns are crucial in international trade for their enhanced properties like increased durability, wrinkle resistance, or cost-effectiveness, often used in workwear, industrial textiles, and certain types of apparel where pure cotton isn't the primary requirement. Importers are textile mills and manufacturers seeking specific blend ratios and performance characteristics. Exporters are typically countries with both cotton cultivation and synthetic fiber production capabilities, offering a diverse range of blended yarns.
