About HS Code 520632

This code specifies multiple or cabled cotton yarn, made from uncombed fibers, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, and falling into a coarse-medium count range (714.28 to 232.56 decitex). As a non-retail product, this blended yarn offers a balance of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. It is widely traded for use in medium-to-heavy weight fabrics such as denim, twills, and canvas, which are essential for apparel, upholstery, and various industrial applications. The blend (less than 85% cotton) often incorporates synthetic fibers to improve performance characteristics like reduced shrinkage or enhanced wear resistance. Importers are large textile manufacturers and garment producers. Exporters are typically integrated spinning mills in major textile-producing countries, focusing on bulk supply for diverse applications.
