Combed Cotton Noils from Germany
Short cotton fibres separated during the combing process, known as noils, presented as a byproduct for blending or specialty yarn production. These fibres are processed but not spun. They are classified under tariff item 5203.00.00 as cotton, carded or combed, even though they are a combing byproduct, as the heading covers all combed cotton.

Import Tips
• Distinguish noils from cotton waste, as waste may fall under heading 52.02 with different duty treatment
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the fibres are combed, not merely waste
• The MFN duty rate is typically free, but confirm with the CBSA
