5205.46.00.90 - Other (301)

This HTS classification (5205.46.00.90) pertains to multiple-folded or cabled cotton yarns, derived from combed cotton fibers. These yarns are specifically characterized by the fineness of their individual strands, with each single yarn measuring less than 125 decitex but not less than 106.38 decitex. This decitex range is equivalent to exceeding an 80 metric number but not exceeding a 94 metric number. Crucially, the yarn must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and must not be packaged for retail sale.

The distinguishing feature of this category lies in its yarn construction and fineness. It falls under the broader category of multiple (folded) or cabled yarn made from combed fibers. Unlike "ring spun" yarns at the same level, which refer to a specific spinning method, this classification is based on the number of twists and the decitex measurement of the individual strands within the folded or cabled structure. The yarn's composition (85% or more cotton) and its presentation (not for retail sale) are consistent with its parent categories.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for multiple-folded or cabled yarns meeting all the specified criteria regarding fiber preparation (combed), individual yarn fineness (106.38 to 125 decitex), cotton content (85% or more), and packaging (not for retail sale). Examples would include industrial sewing thread components or yarns destined for further manufacturing processes where precise yarn diameter and ply structure are critical.
