Uncombed Cotton Single Yarn 45 nm
This is a single yarn made from uncombed cotton fibers, with a yarn number exceeding 43 nm but not exceeding 52 nm (approximately 45 nm), containing 85% or more cotton by weight, and not intended for retail sale. It falls under HTS 5205.13.20.00 due to its uncombed fiber type, fineness range, and industrial packaging in bulk cones or hanks for further processing into fabrics. The 'nm' metric, as defined in U.S. notes, confirms its classification based on meters per kilogram.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from combed fibers
Combed cotton yarns shift to 5205.23 due to additional processing removing short fibers, changing the fiber preparation heading.
If multiple (plied or folded) yarn
Single yarn becomes multiple under 5206 if two or more singles are twisted together, altering the yarn construction subheading.
If put up for retail sale
Retail-packaged yarn in consumer-ready form (e.g., balls <85g) moves to 5207 for household use, based on packaging and end-use.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify yarn number using the nm formula from U.S. notes (actual meters/kg divided by 1,000) to ensure 43-52 nm range; obtain lab tests for cotton content ≥85%
• Check quantitative restrictions on cotton inputs from non-WTO countries
• Declare as not for retail sale to avoid Chapter 55 reclassification
