If core-spun with synthetic filament core
Core-spun constructions with man-made cores fall under synthetic filament yarns in Chapter 54, not pure cotton 5205.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide cotton staple length certification (e.g
• Egyptian >34.925 mm) to support combing claim and avoid quota subheading issues
• Label cones clearly as 'not for retail sale' with importer details to prevent CBP reclassification
• Test for excessive sizing pre-entry; Chapter 52 US Note requires desized weight for nm calculation
