Multiple or cabled combed blended cotton yarn in the 14–43 NM per single yarn range combines the strength of a plied construction with the surface refinement of combing, making it a preferred input for mid-weight apparel fabrics, fine home textiles, and quality knitwear. The US tariff line is 5206420000. China leads supply, followed by Italy and Turkey, with Canada and Japan also present — a supply base spanning high-volume Asian production and European specialty mills. Imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a material cost factor for buyers sourcing from that origin.

The importer should obtain a mill process certificate or technical data sheet explicitly confirming that the fiber was combed prior to spinning. Laboratory fiber analysis can also detect the absence of short fibers characteristic of combed yarn. Customs may request this documentation during examination, particularly when the declared value or origin suggests a potential misclassification.
Canada is a USMCA partner, and qualifying textile goods of Canadian origin may be eligible for preferential tariff treatment, subject to applicable rules of origin under that agreement. Importers should confirm that the yarn meets USMCA fiber-forward or yarn-forward origin requirements with a licensed customs broker before claiming the preference.
