Combed Cotton Ring Spun Yarn 60 Nm

High-quality single yarn made from combed cotton fibers, ring spun with a metric count exceeding 52 nm but not exceeding 80 nm (specifically 60 nm), containing over 85% cotton by weight. Not intended for retail sale, this yarn is used in weaving fine shirting fabrics and high-end apparel. It falls under HTS 5205.24.00.20 due to its ring spinning method, combed fiber quality, and precise yarn number range.

Alternative Classifications

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

5205.21.00.20Lower: 40.8% vs 44.9%

If fibers are carded rather than combed

Carded cotton yarns shift to 5205.21 due to less refined fiber preparation, affecting yarn quality and tariff heading.

5205.44.00Same rate: 44.9%

If multiple (folded) yarn instead of single

Multiple yarns are classified under 5205.44 for the same nm range, as heading distinguishes single vs. plied structures.

5509.12.00Higher: 45.6% vs 44.9%

If yarn is predominantly synthetic with cotton blend under 85%

Blends drop below 85% cotton threshold, moving to Chapter 55 synthetic yarns rather than Chapter 52 pure cotton.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify yarn number using official nm formula (meters/kg divided by 1,000) and provide lab test reports confirming 85%+ cotton content and ring spinning

Check U.S. cotton yarn quotas if applicable; ensure documentation proves non-retail packaging (e.g

cones over 1 kg)

Avoid misclassification by confirming combed fibers via fiber length tests; common pitfall is confusing with carded yarns under 5205.21
