Last updated: July 2026 dataCoarse single uncombed yarn with a cotton content below 85% by weight and a metric number at or below 14 NM is a heavy industrial input, commonly used in canvas, industrial webbing, rope, and coarse woven fabrics. Mexico is the leading US supplier under this heading, with Spain and Pakistan also contributing, reflecting both geographic proximity and established blended-fiber spinning capacity. The single tariff line 5206110000 covers the entire heading, so classification turns on confirming that cotton content falls below 85% by weight and that the NM count does not exceed 14. Blended-fiber content declarations — specifying the non-cotton component — are essential for accurate entry.

CBP may require laboratory fiber analysis to confirm that the non-cotton component (typically polyester, viscose, or other synthetic or natural fiber) brings the cotton share below 85% by weight. Mill certificates stating fiber composition by percentage are standard supporting documents, but CBP retains the right to test independently.
Primary end uses include industrial canvas, heavy woven fabrics, rope and cordage, upholstery backing, and coarse workwear textiles. The low metric number indicates a thick, heavy yarn unsuited to fine apparel applications but valued for tensile strength in industrial and technical textile contexts.
