HS Code for Blended uncombed plied cotton yarn

This HS code, 520632, specifically covers cotton yarn that is multiple or cabled, made from uncombed fibres, and contains less than 85% by weight of cotton. The "blended" aspect of the product directly aligns with the "less than 85% by weight of cotton" criterion, indicating the presence of other fibres, such as synthetics or other natural fibres. The term "plied" corresponds to "multiple or cabled," signifying that two or more single yarns have been twisted together. "Uncombed" is an explicit characteristic, differentiating it from combed yarns. Furthermore, the specified decitex range (714.28 to 232.56 decitex, or 15 to 43 metric number) per single yarn is crucial for precise classification, ensuring the yarn's fineness falls within the defined parameters. The "not for retail sale" clause indicates its intended use in industrial applications rather than direct consumer purchase.

Products Included

• Multiple cotton yarns, uncombed, blended with synthetic fibres, intended for industrial weaving or knitting, not for retail sale.
• Cabled cotton yarns, uncombed, with a cotton content below 85% by weight, falling within the specified decitex range.
• Industrial-grade blended cotton yarns, uncombed, meeting the fineness and composition criteria for textile manufacturing.
• Yarns composed of cotton and other fibres, twisted together, where the cotton component is less than 85% and the fibres are uncombed.

Common Misclassification

520532: This code is for "Cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple or cabled, of combed fibres, less than 85% by weight of cotton, 714.28 to 232.56 decitex (15 to 43 metric number) per single yarn, not for retail sale." The key distinction is "combed fibres" versus "uncombed fibres." Misclassification can occur if the specific fibre preparation process (combing) is not accurately identified or documented. 520622: This code covers "Cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of uncombed fibres, less than 85% by weight of cotton, 714.28 to 232.56 decitex (15 to 43 metric number) per single yarn, not for retail sale." The primary difference here is "single" yarn versus "multiple or cabled" yarn. Incorrectly identifying the yarn's ply can lead to misclassification. 520631: This code covers similar yarns but with a different decitex range (exceeding 714.28 decitex).

FAQ

What is the HS code for Blended uncombed plied cotton yarn?

The HS code for blended uncombed plied cotton yarn, specifically meeting the criteria of being multiple or cabled, made from uncombed fibres, having less than 85% by weight of cotton, and falling within the 714.28 to 232.56 decitex range per single yarn, is 520632.

How does "uncombed" affect cotton yarn classification?

"Uncombed" refers to cotton fibres that have not undergone the combing process, which is a mechanical operation designed to remove short fibres, neps, and impurities, resulting in a more uniform and finer yarn. Uncombed yarns typically have a slightly coarser feel and appearance compared to combed yarns. This characteristic is a primary differentiator within Chapter 52, influencing the specific subheading and reflecting the level of processing the fibres have received.
