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

HS code 520531 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, yarn manufacturers, and downstream industries.

Production process

The production of HS code 520531 cotton yarn involves several key steps. First, cotton fibers are combed and processed to remove impurities and align the fibers. The fibers are then spun into single yarns, which are then twisted or cabled together to create the final multiple or cabled yarn product. This process ensures the yarn's strength, durability, and consistency, making it suitable for industrial applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520531 cotton yarn include high-quality cotton fibers, spinning machinery, and various processing chemicals and lubricants. Cotton fibers are the primary raw material, and their quality, length, and purity are crucial for the yarn's performance. Specialized spinning equipment, such as ring frames and roving frames, are used to transform the cotton fibers into the desired yarn structure. Additionally, various chemicals and lubricants are employed throughout the production process to ensure the yarn's consistency and quality.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520531 is a coarse, high-cotton-content yarn that is suitable for industrial applications, such as the production of 520911 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 540720 Woven fabrics obtained from strip or the like, and 550320 Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning. This yarn may also be used as an input for the production of various industrial textiles, including 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles, 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles, and 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles.
