About HS Code 520622

This HS code covers medium-coarse single, combed cotton yarn, not for retail, with a cotton content below 85% by weight, falling within the fineness range of less than 714.29 but not less than 232.56 decitex. The combing process ensures a smoother, stronger, and more uniform yarn compared to uncombed varieties, making it highly desirable for a wide range of textile applications where quality and durability are important. This yarn is a staple for manufacturers producing mid-range apparel, home textiles, and various industrial fabrics. Importers are typically textile mills in countries like China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, which convert these yarns into finished goods for both domestic consumption and export. Exporters include major cotton-producing and spinning nations such as India, Pakistan, and Turkey. The trade in this yarn is influenced by global demand for blended fabrics, the cost of raw materials, and technological advancements in spinning. Buyers often seek consistent quality, good dye uptake, and competitive pricing for bulk orders.
