5205.13.10.00 - Unbleached, not mercerized (300) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5205.13.10.00, specifically covers single yarn made from uncombed cotton fibers. The yarn must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, not be mercerized, and must be unbleached. Crucially, the yarn's fineness falls within a specific range, exceeding 43 but not exceeding 52 tex (nm). This category is reserved for yarn not intended for retail sale.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5205.13.20.00 ("Other"), lies in the specific description of the yarn. While 5205.13.20.00 would capture other types of single yarn within the same tex range (exceeding 43 nm but not exceeding 52 nm), 5205.13.10.00 is precisely for the unbleached and non-mercerized variety. Both share the common characteristics of being single yarn from uncombed cotton fibers, at least 85% cotton by weight, and not put up for retail sale.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on meeting all the specified criteria: single yarn, 85% or more cotton by weight, uncombed fibers, unbleached, not mercerized, not put up for retail sale, and with a yarn count falling precisely between 43 and 52 tex (nm).
