Combing removes short fibers and aligns the remaining staple more uniformly, producing a smoother, stronger yarn with less pilling. At the 43–52 NM range, combed blended yarn is preferred for fine shirting, lightweight knits, and technical fabrics where surface quality is critical. Uncombed yarn at similar counts would be classified under heading 520633 instead.
Honduras and Guatemala are CAFTA-DR partners, and qualifying textile and apparel goods may be eligible for preferential treatment under that agreement, subject to yarn-forward or other applicable rules of origin. Importers should verify that the specific yarn meets CAFTA-DR origin requirements with a licensed customs broker before claiming preference.
