Last updated: June 2026 data

Classified under a single US tariff line (5206430000), this multiple or cabled combed yarn contains less than 85% cotton by weight and falls in the 43–52 metric number range per single yarn — a mid-count specification favored in blended shirting and fine apparel fabrics. The sub-85% cotton threshold is the critical classification boundary: yarns at or above 85% cotton fall under a different HS chapter heading, so fiber-blend documentation is essential at entry. Portugal is the leading US supplier, reflecting the country's established tradition in high-quality blended textile spinning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 85% cotton threshold verified for classification under 520643 versus a higher-cotton heading?

Classification hinges on the fiber composition by weight as declared on the commercial invoice and supported by mill test certificates or laboratory analysis. Customs may request fiber content testing if documentation is ambiguous; importers should retain spinning mill certificates showing the exact cotton-to-other-fiber ratio.

What does 'not for retail sale' mean in practice for this yarn heading?

'Not for retail sale' means the yarn is put up in forms intended for industrial or commercial use — typically large cones, cheeses, or beams — rather than small balls or skeins packaged for end consumers. Packaging format and labeling are the primary indicators customs officers examine to confirm this status.
