5205.28.00.90 - Other (301)

This HTS classification, 5205.28.00.90, pertains to single cotton yarns that are spun from combed fibers, contain 85% or more cotton by weight, are not put up for retail sale, and have a yarn count exceeding 120 metric number (meaning they measure less than 83.33 decitex). The "Other" designation signifies that these yarns do not fall under the specific ring-spun category at this level.

The crucial distinction for this subcategory lies in the spinning method. While its sibling, 5205.28.00.20, specifically covers ring-spun yarns, this category encompasses all other single yarns of combed cotton fibers that meet the aforementioned decitex and cotton content requirements, excluding those produced via the ring-spinning technique. Classification hinges on the absence of ring-spun characteristics.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, it is essential for importers and exporters to accurately assess the spinning method used to ensure correct classification. Examples of yarns that would fall here include open-end spun or other unconventional spun single yarns of combed cotton, provided they meet the decitex and cotton percentage criteria.
