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 5205.43, as heading 5205 distinguishes uncombed (5205.31-5205.34) from combed (5205.41-5205.44) fibers.
If put up for retail sale
Yarns packaged in small quantities for consumer sale (e.g., balls <85% cotton or retail put-up) fall under Chapter 52 heading 5207 for retail-packaged yarns.
If synthetic fibers exceed 15%
Blends with >15% man-made fibers are classified in Chapter 55 as synthetic yarns, not pure cotton under 5205.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify yarn number using official nm calculation (meters/kg ÷ 1000 × plies) to confirm 43-52 nm per single yarn, as fractions are disregarded
• Provide mill test certificates proving ≥85% cotton content and uncombed status; subject to staple length quotas under U.S. notes
• Ensure not 'put up for retail sale' (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient documentation
