5205.47.00.21 - Compact, not exceeding 102 nm (301)

This HTS classification pertains to multiple (folded) or cabled yarns made from combed cotton fibers. Specifically, it covers yarns where each individual strand, when measured, falls within a decitex range of 83.33 to 106.38. In terms of metric numbering, this translates to exceeding 94 but not surpassing 120. These yarns must contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and are not packaged for retail sale. The "compact" designation in the description signifies a specific yarn construction method that enhances strength and smoothness.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5205.47.00.29, which encompasses "Other" ring-spun multiple or cabled yarns of combed cotton fibers within the same decitex and metric number range, but which do not meet the "compact" yarn specification. The key differentiator lies in the yarn's structural integrity and finishing, with 5205.47.00.21 specifically denoting compact spun yarns.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore under this specific code. Classification terminates here, meaning that any yarn meeting all the preceding criteria, including the compact construction and the specified decitex range, will fall under this particular HTS code. This level of detail ensures precise identification for customs purposes, particularly when differentiating between various types of high-quality combed cotton yarns.
