5201.00.34.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 7 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 5201.00.34.00, specifically covers raw cotton that has not been carded or combed. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is a staple length falling within the range of 28.575 millimeters (1-1/8 inches) or more, but less than 34.925 millimeters (1-3/8 inches). This precise measurement of fiber length is a critical criterion for distinguishing this specific type of raw cotton from others.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 5201.00.38.00, which also falls under "Other" but does not have the specific staple length requirement outlined here. While both fall under the broader category of "Other" raw cotton not carded or combed with staple lengths within a certain range, the key differentiator is the precise mid-range staple length defined by 5201.00.34.00. This detailed sub-classification ensures accurate tariff application based on the physical properties of the cotton.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus remains on the accurate identification of raw cotton meeting the specified staple length criteria of 28.575 mm or more but under 34.925 mm. Importers and exporters should ensure their documentation clearly reflects this staple length to comply with customs requirements for this specific category of cotton.
