5206.14.00.00 - Exceeding 52 nm but not exceeding 80 nm (300) 🖩

This HTS category, 5206.14.00.00, specifically classifies single cotton yarns spun from uncombed fibers. The defining characteristic of yarns within this subheading is their fineness, measured in metric count (Nm). These yarns are exclusively those with a metric count exceeding 52 Nm but not exceeding 80 Nm. This precise range is crucial for distinguishing these finer spun yarns from coarser or even finer single cotton yarns made from uncombed fibers.

The sibling categories are differentiated by their metric count ranges. For instance, 5206.11.00.00 covers yarns with a metric count not exceeding 14 Nm, while 5206.15.00.00 encompasses yarns exceeding 80 Nm. Similarly, 5206.12.00.00 and 5206.13.00.00 cover intermediate ranges. Therefore, proper classification hinges on accurately determining the metric count of the single yarn and confirming it is spun from uncombed cotton fibers and not intended for retail sale.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5206.14.00.00 is final based on the established criteria of single yarn, uncombed fibers, and the specific metric count range of exceeding 52 Nm but not exceeding 80 Nm. This classification is consistent with the broader context of cotton yarns, specifically those that are not sewing thread, contain less than 85% cotton by weight, and are not packaged for retail sale.
