About cotton yarn; (not sewing thread), single, of uncombed fibres, 85% or more by weight of cotton, measuring less than 125 decitex (exceeding 80 metric number), not for retail sale
HS code 520515 covers a specific type of cotton yarn that is widely used in the textile industry. This yarn is made from uncombed cotton fibers, with a cotton content of 85% or more by weight. It is a single-ply yarn that measures less than 125 decitex, or exceeds 80 metric number, and is not intended for retail sale. This type of cotton yarn is a crucial input for a variety of textile products, from clothing to home furnishings, and plays a significant role in the global textile supply chain.
Production process
The production of HS code 520515 cotton yarn involves several key steps. First, the raw cotton fibers are cleaned and combed to remove any impurities and align the fibers. The fibers are then spun into a single-ply yarn using specialized spinning machinery. The yarn is then wound onto bobbins or cones, ready for further processing or use in textile manufacturing.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520515 cotton yarn include raw cotton fibers, which must meet the 85% or more cotton content requirement. Additionally, the production process requires specialized spinning machinery, as well as energy sources and other supporting resources to power the manufacturing facilities.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 520515 is the cotton yarn itself, which is then used as an input for a wide range of textile products. This yarn may be consumed by manufacturers of 520911 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 521111 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres, weighing not more than 200 g/m², or 580121 Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, of cotton, among other textile categories.
