The demand for cotton yarn is closely tied to the overall health of the textile industry, which is a significant contributor to many national economies around the world.

Production process

The production of cotton yarn for retail sale involves several key steps. First, raw cotton fibers are harvested, cleaned, and processed into yarn through a series of spinning and twisting operations. The yarn is then wound onto spools or packages, often with the addition of sizing or other treatments to improve its strength and handling properties. Finally, the yarn is packaged and labeled for distribution to retailers and end-users.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of cotton yarn under HS code 5207 is, of course, raw cotton fiber. Cotton is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable textile fiber that is grown in many regions around the world. In addition to the raw cotton, the industry also requires specialized machinery and equipment for spinning, twisting, and packaging the yarn, as well as various chemicals and additives used in the processing and finishing stages.

Production outputs

The main output of the industry covered by HS code 5207 is cotton yarn that is ready for retail sale. This yarn can be used in a variety of textile and apparel applications, including the production of 5208 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m², 5209 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², and 5210 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, weighing not more than 200 g/m², among others.
