Subheading 16 of 19 in heading 5206
Multiple or cabled uncombed blended cotton yarn at the 43–52 NM per single yarn count occupies a relatively narrow specialty niche, used in finer plied fabrics where bulk and twist strength are needed without the added cost of combing. All US imports are classified under tariff line 5206330000. Hong Kong and Italy are the recorded suppliers, suggesting this is a low-volume, specialty trade flow rather than a commodity market.

Hong Kong can serve as a transshipment or re-export hub, but goods must meet US rules of origin to be declared as Hong Kong origin. If the yarn was substantially transformed in Hong Kong, it may legitimately claim Hong Kong origin. Importers should scrutinize origin documentation carefully, as misrepresentation of origin to avoid applicable tariffs is a serious compliance risk.
The boundary is 43 NM per single yarn. Yarn where each constituent single yarn measures over 43 NM but not over 52 NM falls under 520633 (5206330000), while single yarn counts of 14–43 NM fall under 520632 (5206320000). The count is measured on the single yarn component before plying, not on the finished multiple yarn.
