Single Uncombed Cotton Yarn, 85%+ Cotton, Not for Retail, Over 52 Nm to 80 Nm imports of $660 in April 2026 ran 300% above the year-to-date monthly average of $165.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSingle uncombed cotton yarn in the 52–80 Nm count range represents a relatively specialized grade, as uncombed fiber at this fineness is less common than its combed counterpart. Pakistan dominates US supply under this heading, with Italy a notable secondary source — an unusual pairing that reflects both volume commodity trade and premium European spinning. The heading's 10-digit lines (5205140000 and 5205141000) capture the primary finish-state distinctions relevant to duty assessment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Italian spinning mills are known for producing specialty and premium-grade yarns, including fine uncombed counts for niche fabric applications. While Pakistan supplies high volumes of commodity-grade yarn, Italian-origin product typically serves different end-use specifications — a distinction that can affect both sourcing strategy and the applicable duty treatment depending on origin.
Borderline counts should be confirmed by accredited laboratory testing using standard methods (e.g., ASTM D1907 or ISO 2060) before entry. A count that tests at 51.8 Nm would fall under the 43–52 Nm subheading rather than this one, potentially changing the tariff line. Consulting a licensed customs broker and retaining test certificates is strongly recommended for near-boundary shipments.
