U.S. imports of multiple or cabled combed cotton blend yarn, not for retail, not over 14 nm per single yarn (less than 85% (HS 520641) totaled $9K in May 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: May 2026 dataCombing applied to the coarsest multiple or cabled blended cotton yarn (not over 14 NM per single yarn, less than 85% cotton) adds fiber alignment and surface quality to an otherwise heavy-count construction, making it suitable for premium heavy fabrics and specialty industrial textiles. US imports enter under tariff line 5206410000. Italy is the sole recorded supplier, reflecting the niche nature of this product — coarse count combined with combed processing is an unusual specification driven by specific end-use requirements rather than commodity demand.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Combing at coarse counts removes neps and short fibers that would otherwise cause surface irregularities or weak points in the plied yarn. For applications such as premium upholstery fabrics, technical webbings, or specialty industrial textiles where surface consistency and tensile uniformity matter even at heavy weights, the added cost of combing is justified.
Combed multiple yarn at this count range (≤14 NM) falls under 5206410000, while the uncombed equivalent falls under 5206310000. If a shipment mixes both types, each must be declared separately. Mill certificates should explicitly state 'combed' or 'uncombed' — generic yarn specifications that omit this detail can lead to misclassification and potential customs examination.
