About HS Code 520634

This category covers multiple or cabled cotton yarn, not for retail, made from uncombed fibres, with cotton content below 85% by weight, and a finer count of 192.30 to 125 decitex (53 to 80 metric number) per single yarn. These yarns are a staple in the global textile supply chain, particularly for manufacturers producing medium-fine fabrics where a slightly textured feel and cost efficiency are priorities. Key importers are textile powerhouses in Southeast Asia and Europe, sourcing from major yarn-producing nations. The blend with other fibers like polyester or viscose enhances performance characteristics such as strength, wrinkle resistance, and dye uptake, making it versatile for a range of apparel and home textiles. Its uncombed nature contributes to a more rustic or natural aesthetic in the final product.
