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, 5205.32.00.00, pertains to multiple (folded) or cabled yarn made from uncombed cotton fibers. Crucially, the single yarn comprising these constructions must fall within a specific fineness range, exceeding 14 tex (nanometers) but not exceeding 43 tex. This yarn must also contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and is not intended for retail sale, meaning it is typically sold in bulk for further manufacturing.

The distinction of this category lies directly in the yarn's fineness. It is differentiated from its sibling category 5205.31.00.00, which covers single yarns of 14 tex or less. Conversely, it is separate from categories 5205.33.00.00 through 5205.35.00.00, which classify multiple or cabled yarns made from single yarns exceeding 43 tex. Therefore, precise measurement of the tex (nm) value of the component single yarn is critical for accurate classification within this group.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification concludes at this level, based on the specified material (cotton), construction (multiple or cabled, uncombed), and the critical fineness range of the constituent single yarn. Examples of goods that might be derived from this type of yarn include industrial fabrics, heavy-duty sewing threads in bulk, or specialized textiles where a medium-fine, strong cotton yarn is required.
