5205.43.00.90 - Other (301) 🖩

This HTS classification covers multiple-folded or cabled cotton yarns, specifically those spun from combed cotton fibers. To fall within this category, the yarn must consist of 85% or more cotton by weight and is not packaged for retail sale. The defining characteristic here is the yarn's construction: it is made of multiple single strands twisted together, and these single strands originate from combed cotton, which implies a finer, more uniform fiber preparation. The specific fineness of the individual single yarns is also critical, requiring them to fall within a range that exceeds 43 tex but does not exceed 52 tex.

The key distinction from sibling categories lies in the yarn's construction and spinning method. While sibling categories at this level might differentiate based on spinning techniques (e.g., ring-spun vs. open-end spun), this category specifically addresses multiple-folded or cabled yarns made from combed fibers within a defined fineness range. It excludes single yarns and yarns outside the specified tex range or those not derived from combed cotton.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5205.43.00.90 is final once the yarn meets all the preceding criteria: being a multiple-folded or cabled yarn, made from combed cotton fibers, containing 85% or more cotton by weight, not put up for retail sale, and with individual single yarns exceeding 43 tex but not exceeding 52 tex. Examples would include two-ply or three-ply yarns intended for industrial use or further manufacturing processes where the specific fineness and combed fiber quality are required.
