Overview

This HTS category, 5205.27.00.20, specifically classifies ring-spun single yarns of cotton, composed of 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, and not put up for retail sale. These yarns are derived from combed cotton fibers, indicating a higher degree of processing and fineness. The defining characteristic of this classification lies in the yarn's decitex, which falls within the range of not less than 83.33 decitex but less than 106.38 decitex. This corresponds to a metric numbering system of exceeding 94 but not exceeding 120.

This particular subcategory distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5205.27.00.90, which encompasses "Other" yarns within the same decitex range. The presence of the specific "(301)" designation within the description for 5205.27.00.20 signifies a particular standard or characteristic, likely related to its manufacturing process or intended end-use, that differentiates it from other single yarns of combed cotton within this same decitex band.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes remains on the precise adherence to the material composition (85% or more cotton), the spinning method (ring spun), the fiber preparation (combed), the presentation (not for retail sale), and critically, the specific decitex range (83.33 to 106.38 decitex) to ensure correct entry.
