Last updated: September 2026 dataMedium-count single uncombed blended cotton yarn in the 14–43 NM range serves a broad range of fabric applications, from denim and workwear to mid-weight wovens and knits. Mexico and Pakistan are the top US suppliers, with El Salvador also a notable source — a regional supply pattern shaped by proximity to US textile mills and established trade relationships. The heading resolves to a single US tariff line (5206120000), so classification depends entirely on confirming fiber content below 85% cotton by weight and a metric number within the 14–43 NM window. Importers sourcing from Mexico or Canada may benefit from USMCA tariff treatment, subject to applicable rules of origin.

Yarn originating in Mexico may qualify for preferential USMCA tariff treatment, provided it meets the applicable rules of origin — typically a fiber-forward or yarn-forward requirement under the textile chapter. Importers should verify origin qualification with a licensed customs broker before claiming preference.
The dividing line is the metric number per single yarn: 520612 covers yarn over 14 NM up to 43 NM, while 520613 covers yarn over 43 NM up to 52 NM. A yarn testing at exactly 43 NM falls in 520612; one testing above 43 NM moves to 520613. Accurate NM measurement from the mill is essential.
