Overview

This HTS category, 5206, encompasses single or multiple (folded) or cabled cotton yarns that are not intended for retail sale. Crucially, these yarns contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton. This distinction is vital as yarns with a higher cotton content would be classified under different headings within Chapter 52. The primary function is industrial or manufacturing use, rather than direct consumer purchase.

Unlike sibling categories in other chapters, such as live animals or machinery, HTS 5206 specifically deals with textile materials, aligning with its parent Chapter 52, which is dedicated to cotton. It differentiates itself from other yarn categories by its specific cotton content threshold and its classification as "not put up for retail sale," implying bulk packaging for further processing or wholesale distribution.

Within HTS 5206, further subdivisions are made based on the processing of the cotton fibers and the structure of the yarn. These include single yarns made from uncombed fibers, single yarns made from combed fibers, and multiple (folded) or cabled yarns, again differentiated by whether the fibers were combed. These subcategories allow for more precise classification based on the yarn's physical characteristics and manufacturing process, influencing its end-use properties and market value.
