5205.11.20.00 - Other (300)

This HTS category, 5205.11.20.00, specifically classifies "Other" single yarn of uncombed cotton fibers, not exceeding 14 nm in count, and containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton. Crucially, these yarns are not put up for retail sale, meaning they are intended for further manufacturing processes rather than direct consumer purchase. The "Other" designation implies that these yarns fall outside of any more specific sub-classifications that might exist for this yarn type, such as those differentiated by bleaching or mercerization.

The distinction from its sibling category, 5205.11.10.00 ("Unbleached, not mercerized"), is straightforward: this category encompasses single yarns of uncombed cotton fibers, not exceeding 14 nm, that have undergone processes beyond simply being unbleached and not mercerized. This could include yarns that are bleached, mercerized, dyed, or otherwise treated or finished, provided they still meet the core criteria of being single, uncombed, and of a fine count within the specified range.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 5205.11.20.00 relies on confirming that the yarn meets all the preceding criteria: it is single yarn, spun from uncombed cotton fibers, has a yarn count not exceeding 14 nm, contains at least 85% cotton by weight, is not put up for retail sale, and is not specifically covered by the "Unbleached, not mercerized" sibling.
