If rotor spun instead of ring spun
Rotor spun yarns of combed fibers under 83.33 decitex are classified in 5205.43, as spinning method determines subheading within fine combed cotton yarns.
If put up for retail sale
Yarns packaged in put-up form like balls or cones for consumer sale shift to Chapter 52 heading 5207, excluding bulk industrial yarns.
If made from uncombed (carded) fibers
Uncombed cotton yarns, even ring spun and fine count, fall under 5205.31 as combing process defines separation between carded and combed yarn headings.
