About HS Code 520633

This HS code encompasses multiple or cabled cotton yarn, not intended for retail sale, where cotton constitutes less than 85% of the weight, and the fibres are uncombed. Specifically, it covers yarns with a fineness ranging from 232.55 to 192.31 decitex (44 to 52 metric number) per single yarn. These industrial-grade blended yarns are crucial for textile manufacturers seeking a balance between cost-effectiveness and specific fabric properties. Importers are typically large-scale textile mills in countries with significant garment production, while exporters are major yarn producers. The uncombed nature means the yarn might have a slightly coarser feel but offers durability and is often blended with synthetic fibers like polyester or rayon to enhance strength, reduce shrinkage, or achieve particular textures for various applications, from denim to industrial textiles.

Products Under This Code

Blended cotton-polyester yarn (uncombed), cotton-rayon yarn (uncombed), industrial knitting yarn, weaving yarn for denim, upholstery fabric yarn, workwear fabric yarn, canvas fabric yarn

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with 520643 due to similar fineness, but 520643 specifies "combed" fibres, which results in a smoother, higher-quality yarn. It also differs from 5205 (single yarn) as it covers multiple or cabled yarns.
