Last updated: April 2026 dataMultiple or cabled flax yarn — produced by twisting two or more single linen yarns together — offers greater tensile strength and uniformity than single-ply yarn, making it the preferred form for upholstery, heavy apparel, and industrial linen applications. Italy and Poland are the leading suppliers to the US market under tariff line 5306200000, with the United Kingdom and Egypt also contributing. The structural distinction from single yarn (heading 530610) is straightforward in principle but requires careful invoice documentation when shipments contain mixed yarn constructions.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Multiple or folded yarn is made by twisting two or more single yarns together in one operation. Cabled yarn involves a further step: two or more folded yarns are twisted together, often in the opposite direction. Both constructions classify under heading 530620 (5306200000) — the HTS treats them identically at this level — but the distinction matters for technical specifications and end-use performance in upholstery or industrial weaving.
As of the most recent publicly available information, no antidumping or countervailing duty orders specifically target multiple or cabled flax yarn under 5306200000. However, importers should verify current CBP and USTR guidance, as trade-remedy landscapes can change. General Section 301 tariff exposure depends on country of origin, so sourcing from China warrants a specific review.
