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.
