Last updated: April 2026 dataCombed multiple or cabled cotton yarn in the 52–80 metric number range represents a mid-to-fine count industrial input used in high-quality woven and knitted fabrics, shirting, and home textiles. India leads US imports under this heading, with Egypt and Pakistan also significant sources, reflecting the dominance of long-staple cotton-growing regions in this segment. The US schedule subdivides the heading into compact ring-spun (5205440021), conventional ring-spun (5205440029), and other spinning methods (5205440090), alongside a legacy line (5205440000), making spinning technology a key classification variable. Importers should confirm metric number per single yarn and spinning method documentation to ensure correct 10-digit line assignment.

The US tariff schedule distinguishes compact ring-spun yarn (5205440021) from conventional ring-spun yarn (5205440029) and other spinning methods (5205440090). Importers must document the spinning technology on commercial invoices and mill certificates to support the correct 10-digit line assignment.
Classification here requires that the metric number (NM) per single yarn exceed 52 NM but not exceed 80 NM. Yarn falling at or below 52 NM classifies in a lower heading, while yarn above 80 NM moves to headings 520546 or higher. Lab testing of linear density is the standard verification method.
