5205.48.00.90 - Other (301)

This HTS classification, 5205.48.00.90, covers "Other" multiple (folded) or cabled cotton yarns spun from combed fibers. These yarns must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and are not intended for retail sale. The key defining characteristic of this category is that the individual component yarns, when measured, are finer than 83.33 decitex, which is equivalent to exceeding a metric number of 120. This decitex measurement refers to the yarn's linear density, with a lower decitex value indicating a finer thread.

This "Other" category specifically differentiates itself from its sibling category, 5205.48.00.20, which is designated for ring-spun yarns meeting the same criteria of multiple/cabled, combed fibers, and fineness. Therefore, this classification is intended for multiple or cabled yarns that are not produced using the ring-spinning method. Examples might include yarns produced via rotor spinning or other alternative spinning techniques, provided they meet the overall cotton content and fineness specifications.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. All yarns that meet the criteria of being multiple (folded) or cabled, spun from combed cotton fibers, containing 85 percent or more cotton by weight, not put up for retail sale, and having individual component yarns finer than 83.33 decitex, and are not ring-spun, will be classified under this specific HTS code.
