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 intermediate product that supports a wide range of downstream industries, from apparel and home textiles to industrial fabrics and technical textiles.
Production process
The production of cotton yarn under HS code 520612 typically involves several key steps. First, cotton fibers are cleaned, carded, and drawn into a continuous sliver. The sliver is then spun into a single yarn, which is then wound onto bobbins or packages. The yarn may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing or finishing, depending on the end-use requirements.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of cotton yarn under HS code 520612 include raw cotton fibers, spinning machinery (such as ring frames or open-end spinning machines), and various auxiliary materials like sizing agents, lubricants, and packaging materials. The quality and characteristics of the raw cotton fibers, as well as the efficiency and precision of the spinning equipment, are critical factors in determining the final properties of the yarn.
Production outputs
The cotton yarn produced under HS code 520612 is primarily used as an input for the manufacture of woven or knitted fabrics, as well as for various industrial and technical applications. It may be consumed by industries such as 520921 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 540752 Woven fabrics of yarn of man-made filaments, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 54.04, and 580121 Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 58.02 or 58.06.
