5205.41.00.90 - Other (301)

This HTS subcategory, 5205.41.00.90, specifically classifies multiple (folded) or cabled cotton yarns spun from combed fibers. These yarns must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and are not intended for retail sale. The crucial defining characteristic is that the yarn is formed by twisting two or more single yarns together, resulting in a stronger and more substantial cord-like structure. The individual single yarns making up this cabled yarn must not exceed 14 Nm in count.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5205.41.00.20, by the method of spinning. While both fall under multiple (folded) or cabled yarn of combed fibers with a count not exceeding 14 Nm per single yarn, 5205.41.00.20 specifically covers "Ring spun" yarns. This means 5205.41.00.90 encompasses other methods of spinning the individual single yarns that are then cabled, such as open-end spinning, which are not ring spun.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 5205.41.00.90. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code rests on the specific physical characteristics of the cabled yarn: its composition (at least 85% cotton), its structure (multiple or cabled), the combing of the individual fibers, the single yarn count (not exceeding 14 Nm), and its presentation (not for retail sale). If a multiple or cabled yarn meets these criteria and is not made from ring-spun single yarns, it will be classified here.
