5205.42.00.90 - Other (301)

This HTS category encompasses multiple-folded or cabled cotton yarns, derived from combed fibers, which contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton. These yarns are intended for industrial or manufacturing use and are not packaged for direct sale to consumers. The crucial defining characteristic is that each individual single yarn within the fold or cable falls within the count range of exceeding 14 nm but not exceeding 43 nm.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, "Ring spun," by the yarn's construction. While both fall under multiple (folded) or cabled yarns of combed fibers, this category specifically includes yarns where the individual strands have been twisted together to form a more substantial thread, irrespective of the spinning method used for the single yarns (e.g., rotor-spun or ring-spun). The core criteria here are the folded/cabled structure and the specific fineness range of the constituent single yarns.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific classification. Therefore, the classification rests entirely on meeting the criteria of being a multiple (folded) or cabled yarn of combed cotton fibers, containing 85% or more cotton by weight, and having individual single yarn counts between 14 nm and 43 nm, inclusive. Examples would include yarns suitable for use in heavy-duty textiles, upholstery fabrics, or industrial applications where strength and durability are paramount.
