About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 5205.28.00.20, specifically covers single yarns of cotton, composed of 85% or more cotton by weight, spun from combed fibers. These yarns are not intended for retail sale and fall within the subcategory of yarns measuring less than 83.33 decitex (which is equivalent to exceeding a metric number of 120). The "ring spun (301)" designation further refines this category, indicating the specific spinning method used to produce the yarn.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5205.28.00.90 ("Other"), by the explicit characteristic of being ring-spun. While both are single yarns of combed cotton exceeding 120 metric number, the parenthetical "(301)" code within this specific classification serves as a precise identifier for ring-spun construction, differentiating it from other possible spinning methods that might fall under the broader "Other" category at this level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition and characteristics of ring-spun single cotton yarn, not put up for retail sale, made from combed fibers, and measuring less than 83.33 decitex, ensuring accurate customs declarations for goods fitting this exact description.
