Last updated: August 2026 dataYarn in the 94–120 metric number range sits at the upper end of fine-count combed cotton, used in luxury shirting, fine lace, and high-thread-count woven goods. Egypt leads US imports at this count level, joined by Italy and Japan — origins associated with long-staple fiber processing and precision spinning for premium textile markets. Two US tariff lines cover this heading: ring-spun (5205470029) and other spinning methods (5205470090), and the distinction between them must be supported by mill documentation. The narrow count window means borderline shipments near 94 NM or 120 NM may require laboratory verification to avoid misclassification into adjacent headings.

Yarn measured close to either boundary can shift between headings 520546, 520547, and 520548 depending on the test result. CBP may request independent laboratory testing of linear density; importers should obtain mill certificates confirming the NM count before filing entry to avoid post-entry reclassification and potential duty adjustments.
Egypt supplies long-staple raw fiber that supports high-count spinning domestically, while Japanese mills are known for precision ring-spinning technology applied to imported fiber. The distinction can affect quality specifications and lead times relevant to sourcing decisions.
