60/2 Combed Cotton-Polyester Blend Yarn from Germany

This multiple folded yarn consists of two combed single yarns, each exceeding 43 nm but not exceeding 52 nm, containing 80% cotton and 20% polyester by weight. It is not put up for retail sale and is used in weaving fine shirting fabrics. The classification under 5206.43.00.00 reflects its unretail packaging, combed fiber processing, and specific metric yarn number range.

Import Tips

• Verify exact yarn number using the official nm formula (meters/kg ÷ 1000 × single strands) after removing sizing, as fractions are disregarded

• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton content and combed fiber quality to avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings

• Ensure no retail packaging; bulk spools only, as retail put-up shifts to Chapter 55 or higher duties
