About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple or cabled, of combed 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 520541 covers a specific type of cotton yarn that is widely used in the textile industry. This yarn is characterized by its high cotton content, combed fibers, and a particular decitex range. It plays a crucial role in the production of various textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications. As a key component in the global supply chain, this cotton yarn industry contributes significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of HS code 520541 cotton yarn involves several key steps. First, high-quality cotton fibers are carefully selected and combed to align the fibers and remove impurities. The combed fibers are then spun into single yarns, which are subsequently twisted or cabled together to create the final multiple or cabled yarn product. This process ensures the yarn's strength, uniformity, and suitability for a wide range of textile applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520541 cotton yarn include high-quality cotton fibers, spinning machinery, and various processing chemicals and auxiliaries. The cotton fibers must meet specific requirements in terms of length, strength, and purity to ensure the desired yarn characteristics. Additionally, specialized spinning equipment, such as ring spinning frames or open-end spinning machines, is necessary to transform the cotton fibers into the final yarn product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520541 is cotton yarn that is suitable for a variety of textile applications, but not intended for retail sale. This yarn may be further processed and incorporated into 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, or 580121 Uncut weft pile fabrics, of cotton, among other textile products. The versatility of this cotton yarn makes it an essential input for many downstream industries within the broader textile and apparel supply chain.
