About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of uncombed fibres, 85% or more by weight of cotton, less than 714.29 but not less than 232.56 decitex (exceeding 14 but not exceeding 43 metric number), not for retail sale

HS code 520512 covers a specific type of cotton yarn that is widely used in the textile industry. This yarn is characterized by its single-ply construction, uncombed fibers, and a cotton content of 85% or more by weight. Its decitex range of less than 714.29 but not less than 232.56 (exceeding 14 but not exceeding 43 metric number) makes it suitable for a variety of applications, from clothing to home furnishings. As a non-retail product, this cotton yarn is primarily used as an intermediate input for further processing and manufacturing.

Production process

The production of HS code 520512 cotton yarn involves several key steps. First, raw cotton fibers are cleaned, carded, and drawn to align the fibers and remove impurities. The aligned fibers are then spun into a single yarn, which is then wound onto bobbins or cones. The yarn may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing or finishing, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520512 cotton yarn include raw cotton fibers, spinning machinery, and various processing equipment. The quality and characteristics of the raw cotton, such as fiber length, strength, and micronaire, are crucial factors in determining the final properties of the yarn. Additionally, specialized spinning machines, such as ring spinners or open-end spinners, are used to transform the cotton fibers into the desired yarn structure.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520512 is a single-ply cotton yarn that is suitable for a wide range of textile applications. This yarn may be used as an input for the production of 520912 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 520942 Denim, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², or 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, among other textile products. The versatility of this cotton yarn makes it an essential component in the global textile supply chain.
