Indonesia and Pakistan lead US imports, with Guatemala, Italy, and Spain also present — a geographically diverse supplier base reflecting global blended-yarn spinning capacity. The heading maps to a single US tariff line (5206130000), making count verification and fiber-content documentation the primary classification controls.

Guatemala has developed export-oriented textile spinning capacity partly in response to CAFTA-DR trade preferences, which can reduce duties on qualifying textile inputs shipped to the US. This has encouraged investment in mid-count blended yarn production for the US market.
Common blends include cotton-polyester (the most prevalent), cotton-viscose, and cotton-modal. The non-cotton component is typically chosen to improve moisture management, reduce cost, or enhance fabric drape. The specific blend ratio must be declared on entry documentation, as it determines both the tariff line and any applicable textile quota or trade-remedy exposure.
