Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
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.
If made from combed fibers
Combed cotton fibers result in smoother yarn classified under 5205.31, as uncombed rougher fibers define 5205.11.
If synthetic fibers exceed 15% blend
Blends with >15% synthetics move out of Chapter 52 cotton headings to Chapter 55 man-made staple fiber yarns.

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
