About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of combed fibres, 85% or more by weight of cotton, measuring 714.29 decitex or more, (not exceeding 14 metric number), not for retail sale

HS code 520521 covers a specific type of cotton yarn that is widely used in the textile industry. This yarn is characterized by its high cotton content, coarse texture, and suitability for industrial applications rather than retail sale. As a key input for the production of various textile products, this cotton yarn plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, connecting raw material suppliers, manufacturers, and end-consumers.

Production process

The production of HS code 520521 cotton yarn involves a series of steps, starting with the processing of raw cotton fibers. The cotton is first combed to align and remove any impurities, then spun into a single yarn using specialized machinery. The resulting yarn is then measured and graded to ensure it meets the specific requirements of this HS code, including the minimum 85% cotton content and the decitex range.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 520521 cotton yarn is high-quality raw cotton. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized spinning machinery, as well as various ancillary equipment and utilities such as power sources and water. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production capacity and efficiency of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520521 is the cotton yarn itself, which is then used as a key input for the production of a wide range of textile products. This yarn may be further processed, woven, or knitted into fabrics that are then used in the manufacture of clothing, home textiles, industrial textiles, and other applications. Other HS codes that may consume the output of 520521 include 520511 Cotton yarn, single, of uncombed fibres, 85% or more cotton by weight, not exceeding 14 metric number, 520512 Cotton yarn, single, of uncombed fibres, 85% or more cotton by weight, exceeding 14 metric number but not exceeding 43 metric number, and 520513 Cotton yarn, single, of uncombed fibres, 85% or more cotton by weight, exceeding 43 metric number.
