5205.35.00.00 - Exceeding 80 nm per single yarn (300) 🖩

This HTS category, 5205.35.00.00, covers multiple (folded) or cabled cotton yarns, not put up for retail sale, that contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton. Specifically, these yarns are characterized by having a single yarn with a count exceeding 80 nanometers (nm). This definition is crucial for distinguishing these yarns from others within the 5205.3 series, which are grouped based on the linear density (expressed in nm) of their constituent single yarns.

The primary differentiator for this subcategory lies in its fine yarn count. Unlike its sibling categories which cover yarns with single yarn counts not exceeding 14 nm, exceeding 14 nm but not exceeding 43 nm, exceeding 43 nm but not exceeding 52 nm, and exceeding 52 nm but not exceeding 80 nm, this category specifically applies to yarns with a single yarn count *greater than* 80 nm. This distinction in fineness is a key factor in its classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5205.35.00.00 is definitive once the criteria of being a multiple or cabled cotton yarn (85% cotton by weight), not for retail sale, and having a single yarn count exceeding 80 nm are met. Examples of such yarns would be those used in specialized textiles requiring very fine and strong threads, such as high-quality fabrics or certain industrial applications where the strength and fineness of the yarn are paramount.
