Last updated: April 2026 dataMultiple or cabled yarn constructed from uncombed blended cotton (less than 85% cotton by weight) at the coarsest count — not over 14 NM per single yarn — is a workhorse input for heavy woven fabrics, industrial textiles, and coarse knitwear. US imports enter under tariff line 5206310000. Spain leads supply to the US market, followed by Thailand and Turkey, a geographically diverse sourcing base that reflects the broad availability of coarse blended spinning capacity across Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Eastern Mediterranean.

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.
