Last updated: August 2026 dataCoarse single combed blended cotton yarn at or below 14 metric number — with cotton content below 85% by weight — occupies a specialized niche where the combing step improves fiber alignment and surface quality despite the low count, serving applications such as specialty industrial fabrics and certain decorative wovens. Indonesia leads US imports under this heading, followed by Turkey and Italy, with Vietnam and Mexico also present. The heading resolves to a single US tariff line (5206210000), and the combination of combed processing, sub-85% cotton content, and coarse count must all be documented to support classification. The combed designation distinguishes this product from the more common uncombed coarse blended yarns classified in heading 520611.

Combing removes short fibers and aligns the remaining fibers more uniformly, producing a cleaner, stronger yarn even at coarse counts. For blended yarns, combing is typically applied to the cotton component before blending. The combed designation places this yarn in heading 520621 rather than 520611, which may carry a different duty rate, so the processing method must be clearly stated in mill documentation.
Indonesia has invested significantly in integrated spinning capacity capable of producing both combed and uncombed blended yarns across a range of counts. Its position at the top of this heading reflects competitive pricing in specialty blended yarn segments and established export relationships with US textile importers.
