Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

5205.21.00Higher: 40.8% vs 38.7%

If yarn number exceeds 14 nm but ≤52 nm

Finer single uncombed unbleached cotton yarns shift to 5205.21 for medium counts, changing duty rates based on nm measurement.

5205.31.00.00Higher: 40.8% vs 38.7%

If made from combed fibers

Combed cotton fibers result in smoother yarn classified under 5205.31, as uncombed rougher fibers define 5205.11.

5506.10.00.00Higher: 40% vs 38.7%

Import Tips & Compliance

Calculate nm precisely using US note formula (actual meters per kg / 1000 x single yarns) to confirm ≤14 nm; fractions disregarded

Provide lab certification of ≥85% cotton content and uncombed status to avoid reclassification as combed yarn

Avoid retail packaging; ship in bulk cones or beams for industrial use to prevent duty shifts to Chapter 52 retail provisions
