5205.13.20.00 - Other (300)

This HTS category, 5205.13.20.00, encompasses single yarns of uncombed cotton fibers that contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and are not packaged for retail sale. Specifically, these yarns fall within the finer count range, exceeding 43 but not exceeding 52 tex (which corresponds to a metric count (Nm) between 19 and 23.3). The yarns classified here are those that are not specifically designated as unbleached or mercerized.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 5205.13.10.00, by its processing state. While both are single yarns of uncombed cotton within the same tex count range, 5205.13.10.00 specifically covers unbleached and non-mercerized yarns. This category, 5205.13.20.00, therefore applies to yarns within this tex range that have undergone bleaching or mercerization, or both, but are not explicitly specified as such under the sibling category.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, precise classification within this code hinges on meeting the specified criteria of single yarn, 85% or more cotton by weight, uncombed fibers, not for retail sale, and falling within the 43 to 52 tex range, while not being exclusively unbleached and non-mercerized. Examples might include bleached single yarns of this fineness used in the manufacture of woven fabrics or knitted goods.
