About HS Code 520643

This HS code specifies multiple or cabled cotton yarn, not for retail, made from combed fibres, with cotton content below 85% by weight, and a medium count of 232.55 to 192.31 decitex (44 to 52 metric number) per single yarn. These industrial blended yarns are highly valued for their exceptional smoothness, strength, and uniformity, characteristic of combed cotton, combined with the performance benefits of synthetic blends. They are a cornerstone for manufacturers producing high-quality fabrics for apparel, home furnishings, and technical textiles. Importers are often premium textile mills and garment producers in developed markets, while exporters are advanced spinning mills in major textile-producing countries. The blending allows for tailored properties such as enhanced wrinkle resistance, improved dye vibrancy, and increased durability, making it a versatile and premium choice.
