About HS Code 520635

This HS code identifies multiple or cabled cotton yarn, not for retail, composed of uncombed fibres with less than 85% cotton by weight, and characterized by its very fine count, less than 125 decitex (exceeding 80 metric number) per single yarn. These exceptionally fine blended yarns are critical for producing lightweight, delicate, yet durable fabrics in the industrial textile sector. Importers are typically high-end fabric manufacturers and specialized textile mills in developed and developing economies, seeking specific yarn properties for intricate weaving or knitting. Exporters are often large-scale, technologically advanced yarn producers. The blend with synthetic fibers is crucial at this fineness to maintain strength and stability, allowing for the creation of sophisticated textiles that might otherwise be too fragile with pure, uncombed cotton.
