About HS Code 520625

This code represents very fine count single cotton yarn, produced from combed fibers, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton. With a count measuring less than 125 decitex, this non-retail yarn signifies exceptional quality, smoothness, and strength, even in a blended form. It is a highly sought-after input for high-end blended fabrics used in luxury apparel, delicate knitwear, and premium home textiles where a lightweight, soft, and durable material is required. Importers are often high-fashion brands, specialized textile manufacturers, and luxury goods producers. Exporters are typically advanced spinning mills equipped with precision machinery and expertise in producing ultra-fine yarns, catering to niche markets demanding superior textile inputs.
