5205.15.20.00 - Other (300)

This HTS category, 5205.15.20.00, covers single cotton yarns spun from uncombed fibers, where the cotton content by weight is 85% or more. These yarns must exceed 80 Nm (number metric) in count, indicating a relatively fine yarn. Crucially, these yarns are not packaged for retail sale, meaning they are typically sold in larger quantities for industrial or commercial use.

Within the broader category of single yarns of uncombed cotton exceeding 80 Nm, this specific classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5205.15.10.00. The primary difference lies in the treatment of the yarn. While 5205.15.10.00 is for unbleached and non-mercerized yarns, this category, designated as "Other (300)," encompasses all other such yarns that do not fit the unbleached, non-mercerized description. This would include, for example, bleached or mercerized single cotton yarns meeting the specified weight and count criteria.

As a leaf node in the HTS database, 5205.15.20.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this code relies on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a single yarn of uncombed cotton with at least 85% cotton content, exceeding 80 Nm in count, not put up for retail sale, and not falling under the specific subcategory of unbleached, non-mercerized yarns. Practical examples would include fine, dyed or mercerized cotton yarns in industrial-sized cones or packages.
