HS v2017 Code: 520642

About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple or cabled, of combed fibres, less than 85% by weight of cotton, 714.28 to 232.56 decitex (15 to 43 metric number) per single yarn, not for retail sale

HS code 520642 covers a specific type of cotton yarn that is used in a variety of textile and apparel applications. This yarn is produced from combed cotton fibers, with less than 85% cotton content, and a decitex range of 714.28 to 232.56 (15 to 43 metric number) per single yarn. It is an important input for the global textile industry, supporting the production of fabrics, garments, and other textile products.

Production process

The production of HS code 520642 cotton yarn involves several key steps. First, cotton fibers are combed to align and remove impurities, resulting in a high-quality, uniform fiber. These combed fibers are then spun into single yarns, which are subsequently twisted or cabled together to create the final multiple or cabled yarn product. The specific decitex and metric number ranges are achieved through careful control of the spinning and twisting processes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520642 cotton yarn include raw cotton fibers, spinning and twisting machinery, and various processing chemicals and lubricants. The quality and characteristics of the raw cotton fibers, as well as the precision of the spinning and twisting equipment, are critical to producing yarn that meets the specified decitex and metric number requirements.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 520642 is cotton yarn that is used as an input for a wide range of textile and apparel products. This yarn may be consumed by manufacturers of 520912 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 520942 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m², and 610510 Men's or boys' shirts, knitted or crocheted, of cotton, among other textile and apparel items.
