Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If yarn number 80 nm or more but under uncombed
Uncombed versions of similar count classify under 5205.32.0020, as combing is key distinguisher.
If colored or dyed
Dyed or colored combed single yarns move to heading 5206, separate from greige yarns in 5205.
If woven into denim fabric
Once woven into qualifying denim fabric (3/4-thread twill per note), classifies under 5209.42 as fabric, not yarn.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Avoid retail put-up (e.g
• small balls <1kg); declare as industrial input to stay in 5205
