Last updated: September 2026 dataBlended cotton yarn in the mid-count range of 14–43 metric number (NM), combed and wound for industrial rather than retail use, falls under a single US tariff line, 5206220000. Because cotton accounts for less than 85% by weight, the fiber blend composition — typically polyester or other synthetics — governs both classification and end-use suitability for woven and knit fabric production. Vietnam leads US supply of this heading, followed by Indonesia and Mexico, reflecting the concentration of blended-yarn spinning capacity in Southeast Asia and Central America.

Yarns with 85% or more cotton by weight fall under different HS headings (e.g., 5205). Once cotton drops below 85%, the yarn shifts to heading 5206, where further subdivision by twist type (combed vs. uncombed), ply (single vs. multiple), and metric number determines the precise tariff line. Importers should verify fiber content certificates from the mill to confirm correct classification.
Customs brokers generally require a mill certificate or laboratory test report stating the percentage by weight of each fiber component. For blended yarns near the 85% threshold, a third-party fiber analysis may be advisable to avoid misclassification and potential penalties.
