HS v2017 Code: 520623

About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of combed fibres, less than 85% 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 520623 covers cotton yarn that is single, made from combed fibers, and contains less than 85% cotton by weight. This yarn is an essential component in the textile industry, used in the production of a wide range of fabrics, garments, and other textile products. As a key input for many downstream industries, the demand for this type of cotton yarn is closely tied to the overall health and growth of the global textile and apparel sectors.

Production process

The production of cotton yarn covered under HS code 520623 involves several key steps. First, raw cotton fibers are combed to align and remove any impurities, resulting in a high-quality, uniform fiber. These combed fibers are then spun into single-ply yarn, with the thickness of the yarn controlled to meet the decitex requirements specified in the code. The yarn is then processed further, often involving additional twisting or winding, before being packaged and prepared for distribution to textile manufacturers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520623 cotton yarn include high-quality raw cotton fibers, specialized spinning and winding machinery, and energy sources to power the production process. Cotton farmers, ginners, and traders provide the essential raw material, while textile machinery manufacturers supply the equipment needed for the spinning and finishing operations. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in textile processing and quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520623 is cotton yarn that is used as a key input for the production of a wide range of textile products, including woven and knitted fabrics, apparel, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. This yarn may be further processed by 520942 Cotton fabrics, woven, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, weighing more than 200 g/m², 520952 Cotton fabrics, woven, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, weighing not more than 200 g/m², and other downstream industries that require high-quality cotton yarn as a raw material.
