Multiple yarn is formed by twisting two or more single yarns together in one operation; cabled yarn involves a further twisting of already-plied yarns. Both constructions are captured within heading 520631 and its single US tariff line 5206310000, so the distinction does not create a separate classification at the 10-digit level — but it does affect the yarn's mechanical properties and end-use suitability.
Yarn 'not put up for retail sale' must be presented in forms intended for industrial use — typically large cones, cheeses, or hanks of a type not normally sold to end consumers. If yarn arrives in small retail-style packaging (e.g., labeled skeins for craft use), it may be reclassified under a different heading. Importers should ensure packaging and labeling align with industrial trade presentation to avoid classification disputes.
