HS v2022 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 widely used in the textile industry. This yarn is produced from combed cotton fibers, with a weight composition of less than 85% cotton. It is a multiple or cabled yarn, meaning it is composed of two or more single yarns twisted together. This type of yarn is commonly used in the manufacture of various textile products, including clothing, upholstery, and industrial applications, making it an important component of the global textile supply chain.
Production process
The production of HS code 520642 cotton yarn involves several key steps. First, the cotton fibers are combed to align and remove any impurities, ensuring a high-quality raw material. The combed fibers are then spun into single yarns, which are subsequently twisted together to create the multiple or cabled yarn structure. This process is carefully controlled to achieve the desired decitex (linear density) range of 714.28 to 232.56 decitex, corresponding to a metric number of 15 to 43. The final yarn is then prepared for further processing or distribution, but not for direct retail sale.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 520642 cotton yarn include high-quality combed cotton fibers, spinning machinery, and energy sources. The cotton fibers must meet specific quality standards to ensure the desired characteristics of the final yarn. The spinning equipment, such as ring spinning frames or open-end spinning machines, is essential for transforming the raw cotton into the multiple or cabled yarn structure. Additionally, the production process requires a reliable supply of electricity or other energy sources to power the machinery.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 520642 is the cotton yarn itself, which is then used as an input for various textile manufacturing processes. This yarn may be consumed by producers of 520911 Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², 540233 Textured filament yarn of polyester, not for retail sale, or 550320 Staple fibres of polyester, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, among other textile products. The versatility of this cotton yarn makes it an essential component in the global textile supply chain.
