Last updated: August 2026 dataVery fine single uncombed cotton yarn above 80 Nm is an uncommon grade — producing such fineness from carded (uncombed) fiber requires high-quality raw cotton and precise spinning control, making it a specialty product. India leads US imports here, followed by Vietnam and Italy, a supplier mix that spans both volume and premium-craft production. The three 10-digit lines — 5205150000, 5205151000, and 5205152000 — differentiate bleached and mercerized states, which are particularly relevant for fine-fabric end uses.

Fine uncombed yarn at this count is used in lightweight woven fabrics, voiles, and certain technical textiles where a slightly more textured surface than combed yarn is acceptable. It may also appear in blended constructions where the fiber preparation is less critical than count fineness.
Vietnam appears as a top supplier specifically in this fine uncombed count range, reflecting investment in higher-count spinning capacity. Importers sourcing from Vietnam should verify rules-of-origin documentation carefully, particularly if the yarn will be incorporated into apparel or textiles subject to preferential tariff programs that require specific fiber-forward or yarn-forward origin criteria.
