About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of uncombed fibres, less than 85% 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 520612 covers a specific type of cotton yarn that is used in a variety of textile and manufacturing applications. This cotton yarn is single-ply, made from uncombed fibers, and contains less than 85% cotton by weight. It is an important input for the textile industry, serving as a key component in the production of fabrics, garments, and other textile goods. The demand for this type of cotton yarn is driven by its versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a crucial element in global trade and the broader textile supply chain.

Production process

The production of cotton yarn covered under HS code 520612 typically involves several key steps. First, the raw cotton fibers are cleaned, carded, and combed to align and remove any impurities. The fibers are then spun into 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 520612 cotton yarn include raw cotton fibers, which must meet specific quality and length requirements. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized spinning equipment, such as ring spinning frames or open-end spinning machines, as well as various chemicals and auxiliaries used in the finishing and treatment of the yarn. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520612 is cotton yarn that is suitable for a wide range of textile applications, including the production of fabrics, clothing, and other textile goods. This cotton yarn may be further processed or combined with other fibers to create more complex textile products. The output of HS code 520612 can be consumed by industries covered under various other HS codes, such as 520911 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 610510 Men's or boys' shirts, knitted or crocheted, of cotton, and 630231 Bed linen, of cotton.
