Covering the high-count range of 52–80 NM, this single combed blended yarn (less than 85% cotton) is suited to fine woven fabrics, high-thread-count textiles, and specialty apparel where yarn fineness and uniformity are paramount. All US imports enter under tariff line 5206240000. Costa Rica leads supply to the US for this specific count range, joined by India and Indonesia — an unusual sourcing profile that reflects niche spinning capabilities rather than broad commodity volume.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Costa Rica hosts specialized textile manufacturing operations that produce higher-count yarns for niche apparel and technical fabric markets. Its presence as a leading supplier at the 52–80 NM range reflects targeted investment in fine spinning rather than high-volume commodity production.
Metric number (NM) expresses the number of 1,000-meter lengths per kilogram of yarn — higher NM means finer yarn. The 52–80 NM range produces a noticeably thinner, lighter yarn compared to the 14–43 NM range, making it appropriate for lightweight shirting, fine knits, and luxury blended fabrics rather than heavier canvas or denim constructions.
