Last updated: July 2026 dataRetail-packaged blended yarn with a cotton content below 85% by weight — commonly incorporating polyester, acrylic, or modal fibers — is classified under 5207900000 and targets the consumer craft and hand-knitting market. Turkey leads US imports under this heading, followed by China, Peru, Vietnam, and India, reflecting a broad supplier base across both established and emerging textile economies. The sub-85% cotton threshold is the key distinction from heading 520710; fiber blend ratios on retail labels must match import documentation to avoid reclassification.

When fiber content is near the 85% boundary, importers should obtain a certified laboratory fiber analysis from the manufacturer before shipment. A product declared at 84% cotton that tests at 86% would be misclassified; having pre-shipment test data on file protects against CBP reclassification and potential penalties.
Imports from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard NTR duty rate. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list status for tariff line 5207900000 at the time of entry, as product coverage and rates under Section 301 have been subject to ongoing review and modification.
