Last updated: May 2026 dataAt the 80–94 metric number range, multiple or cabled combed cotton yarn enters fine-count territory, supplying premium shirting, fine hosiery, and luxury knit fabric producers. Italy and Egypt are the leading US suppliers in this narrow count band, reflecting the premium long-staple cotton traditions of Egyptian Giza varieties and Italian spinning expertise. The heading carries two US tariff lines — ring-spun (5205460029) and other spinning methods (5205460090) — so spinning technology documentation remains essential for correct classification. Count verification through laboratory linear-density testing is standard practice for customs entry.

Egypt's long-staple Giza cotton varieties are well-suited to spinning at counts above 80 NM, while Italian mills have historically specialized in fine combed yarn for luxury fabric markets. Both origins command premium positioning in this narrow count band.
Importers typically present mill test certificates or laboratory reports confirming the metric number per single yarn, fiber content by weight, and spinning method. These documents support both the 10-digit line selection and any potential CBP audit of the count declaration.
