5205.26.00 - Measuring less than 125 decitex but not less than 106.38 decitex (exceeding 80 metric number but not exceeding 94 metric number)

This HTS classification, 5205.26.00, pertains to single yarns of combed cotton, not put up for retail sale, and containing 85 percent or more cotton by weight. Specifically, these yarns are characterized by their decitex measurement, falling between 106.38 and 125 decitex. This decitex range corresponds to a metric number exceeding 80 but not exceeding 94.

The distinguishing feature of 5205.26.00, compared to its sibling categories within the 5205.2x.xx range, is its precise yarn fineness as indicated by the decitex and metric number values. For instance, it is finer than yarns classified under 5205.24.00 (exceeding 52 nm but not exceeding 80 nm) and coarser than yarns described in 5205.27.00 (exceeding 94 nm but not exceeding 120 nm). This meticulous differentiation ensures accurate classification based on the physical properties of the yarn.

The subcategories within 5205.26.00 further refine the classification based on the spinning method. 5205.26.00.20 specifically covers yarns produced by ring spinning, a common method producing strong and smooth yarn. The residual classification, 5205.26.00.90, encompasses yarns spun by other methods, providing a comprehensive categorization for all yarns meeting the specified decitex and metric number criteria.
