HS Code 5206.34 – Cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple or cabled, of uncombed fibres, less than 85% by weight of cotton, 192.30 to 125 decitex (53 to 80 metric number) per single yarn, not for retail sale

HS code 5206.34 is the 6-digit subheading for cotton yarn, (not sewing thread), multiple or cabled, of uncombed fibres, less than 85% by weight of cotton, 192.30 to 125 decitex (53 to 80 metric number) per single yarn, not for retail sale. It is used for medium-fine blended cotton yarn, uncombed cotton-viscose yarn, shirting fabric yarn, casual wear yarn and bed linen yarn.

What HS 5206.34 covers

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.

Russia did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 89% of its imports here ($1.4M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
