Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If combed and finer >14 nm
Combed processing smooths fibers, and finer nm moves to 5205.22; remains coarse uncombed here.
If certified hand-loomed fabric made from it
Yarn woven into certified hand-loomed plain weave fabric under US note for 5208, not raw yarn.
If <85% cotton content
Blends drop below 85% threshold, shifting to Chapter 52 multi-fiber yarns in 5206.
