5205.42.00.29 - Other (301) 🖩

This HTS category, 5205.42.00.29, encompasses single cotton yarns that are multiple (folded) or cabled, spun from combed fibers, and contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton. Crucially, these yarns must fall within a specific fineness range, with the count of the single yarn exceeding 14 tex but not exceeding 43 tex (which translates to a Nm range of approximately 23.26 to 68.42). The "ring spun" designation indicates the specific spinning method used. These yarns are intended for industrial or manufacturing use and are not packaged for retail sale.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 5205.42.00.21, by the fineness of the single yarn. While both are multiple or cabled yarns of combed cotton fibers, the sibling category specifically covers yarns exceeding 41 Nm (approximately 24.39 tex), implying a finer yarn than what is classified here. Therefore, the key differentiator is the precise Nm or tex value of the individual strands that are then folded or cabled.

As a leaf node in the HTS, this category does not have further subdivisions. Classification under 5205.42.00.29 is final once the criteria for multiple or cabled yarns, 85% or more cotton content, combed fibers, ring spun method, and the specific Nm range (exceeding 14 Nm but not exceeding 43 Nm per single yarn) are met. The "Other (301)" designation at this specific node implies it captures all yarns meeting these precise criteria that are not specifically called out by further subheadings, which are absent here.
