Multiple or cabled uncombed cotton yarn in the 43–52 NM per single yarn range occupies a medium-fine count tier used in shirting fabrics, lightweight canvas, and blended industrial textiles. Pakistan and Egypt are the leading US suppliers, with Germany, Canada, and India also present — a supplier mix that spans both low-cost spinning hubs and technically advanced European mills. The single US tariff line is 5205330000. The narrow count window between 43 and 52 NM means precise mill documentation is essential to avoid misclassification into adjacent headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
German spinning mills serve niche markets requiring tight count tolerances, consistent twist levels, and certified quality documentation — attributes valued by technical textile and precision weaving customers. While Pakistan competes on volume and price, German-origin yarn often commands a premium for applications where specification consistency is critical, such as industrial filtration fabrics or high-thread-count wovens.
A mill test certificate stating the metric count (NM) per single yarn, the fiber composition percentage, and the spinning method should accompany the commercial invoice and packing list. If the count is near the boundary (e.g., 43 NM or 52 NM), a laboratory test report from an accredited textile testing facility provides additional protection against reclassification at the port of entry.
