Last updated: August 2026 dataSingle flax yarn — a single-ply linen yarn not yet plied or cabled — is the primary spinning output of the European linen industry and a key input for fine apparel, home textiles, and technical fabrics. Italy leads US imports under tariff line 5306100000, consistent with its role as a major linen yarn finishing center, with Egypt and Lithuania also among the top suppliers. Buyers should note that yarn count, wet-spun versus dry-spun processing, and bleached or unbleached finish all affect classification within the broader linen supply chain, though these distinctions do not subdivide this single HTS line.

Wet-spun flax yarn is produced by drawing fibers through hot water, yielding a finer, smoother, stronger yarn used in high-quality apparel and fine linens. Dry-spun yarn is coarser and typically used in canvas, twine, or industrial fabrics. Both forms classify under 5306100000 — the HTS does not subdivide by spinning method — but the distinction matters for product specifications, pricing, and end-use suitability.
Once single flax yarn is twisted together with one or more additional plies, it becomes multiple (folded) or cabled yarn and moves to heading 530620. If the yarn is woven into fabric, it reclassifies into Chapter 53 woven fabric headings. Importers receiving mixed shipments of single and plied yarn should ensure each product is correctly identified on the commercial invoice to avoid misclassification.
