5205.34.00.00 - Exceeding 52 nm but not exceeding 80 nm per single yarn (300)

This HTS classification covers multiple (folded) or cabled yarns of uncombed cotton fibers, specifically where each individual single yarn within the yarn construction measures more than 52 but not more than 80 tex. The "tex" unit, representing the number of grams per 1,000 meters, is crucial for differentiating this category. These yarns are characterized by their construction, involving two or more single yarns twisted together, and the fact that they are made from uncombed cotton, contributing to a somewhat coarser texture compared to combed alternatives.

The distinction from its sibling categories lies precisely in the tex range of the constituent single yarns. For example, while 5205.31.00.00 covers single yarns not exceeding 14 tex and 5205.32.00.00 encompasses yarns up to 43 tex, this category specifically targets the range between 52 and 80 tex. Similarly, it is distinct from 5205.33.00.00 (up to 52 tex) and 5205.35.00.00 (exceeding 80 tex). This precise measurement of linear density is the primary determinant for correct classification within this section of the tariff.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus remains on the accurate identification of the yarn's construction (multiple or cabled) and the tex value of its individual single yarns falling within the 52 to 80 tex range. Examples of goods that would fall under this classification include industrial sewing threads that are not put up for retail sale, strong yarns for upholstery, or other applications requiring multiple strands of cotton yarn with this specific linear density.
