About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of combed fibres, 85% or more by weight of cotton, less than 232.56 but not less than 192.31 decitex (exceeding 43 but not exceeding 52 metric number), not for retail sale

HS code 520523 covers a specific type of cotton yarn that is widely used in the textile industry. This yarn is made from combed cotton fibers, with a cotton content of 85% or more by weight. It is a single-ply yarn with a decitex range of less than 232.56 but not less than 192.31, which corresponds to a metric number between 43 and 52. This yarn is primarily used for industrial applications and is not intended for retail sale.

Production process

The production of HS code 520523 cotton yarn involves several key steps. First, the raw cotton fibers are combed to align and remove any impurities, ensuring a high-quality and consistent fiber. The combed fibers are then spun into a single-ply yarn using specialized spinning machinery. The yarn is then subjected to various finishing processes, such as winding, sizing, and heat treatment, to enhance its strength, uniformity, and other desired properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520523 cotton yarn include high-quality cotton fibers, combing machines, spinning equipment, and various finishing chemicals and materials. The cotton fibers must meet specific requirements in terms of length, strength, and purity to ensure the desired characteristics of the final yarn. Additionally, the production process requires a range of machinery, including combing machines, spinning frames, and winding equipment, as well as various chemicals and treatments to enhance the yarn's properties.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520523 is a high-quality cotton yarn that is suitable for a variety of industrial applications. This yarn may be used in the production of 520911 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 540233 Textured filament yarn of polyester, not for retail sale, and 540244 Synthetic filament yarn, single, of polyamides, not for retail sale, including nylon, among other textile products.
