5204.19.00.00 - Other (200)

This HTS classification covers cotton sewing thread that is not put up for retail sale and does not meet the criteria for being composed of 85 percent or more by weight of cotton. This implies that while the primary component is cotton, its proportion by weight falls below this significant threshold. Such thread is intended for industrial or commercial use, rather than direct sale to consumers, and may be sold in bulk, on cones, or in other forms suitable for manufacturing processes.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, HTS 5204.11.00.00, lies specifically in the cotton content percentage. While 5204.11.00.00 is reserved for sewing thread where cotton constitutes 85% or more of its weight, this category is for all other cotton sewing threads that do not meet that specific, high percentage of cotton. This difference is crucial for accurate tariff assessment, as the material composition is a primary factor in determining the correct classification.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this specific code relies solely on fulfilling the criteria of being cotton sewing thread, not put up for retail sale, and not meeting the 85% or more cotton by weight requirement of its sibling category.
