5205.22.00.90 - Other (301) 🖩

This HTS classification covers single yarns of combed cotton fibers, specifically those where the yarn's fineness falls within the range exceeding 14 tex but not exceeding 43 tex. Such yarns are characterized by containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and are not packaged for retail sale. The "Other" designation at this specific level signifies yarns within this tex range that are not classified under the more specific "Ring spun" subcategory.

The crucial distinction from its sibling category, 5205.22.00.20 (Ring spun), lies in the manufacturing process. While both categories encompass single yarns of combed cotton within the same tex range (14-43 tex) and are not for retail sale, this classification excludes yarns produced through the ring spinning method. Therefore, yarns spun using alternative techniques, such as open-end spinning, when meeting all other criteria, would fall under this "Other" classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 5205.22.00.90 is determined by the yarn's composition (predominantly cotton), the combing of its fibers, its tex range (14-43 tex), its form (single yarn, not for retail sale), and importantly, the absence of ring spinning in its production method.
