5206.15.00.00 - Exceeding 80 nm (300)

This HTS category, 5206.15.00.00, specifically classifies single yarn of uncombed cotton fibers where the yarn's tenacity exceeds 80 tex. This measurement, often referred to in "nm" (which in this context likely refers to the number of 840-yard hanks per pound, a common yarn count system for cotton), indicates a finer yarn relative to other categories within this subdivision. These yarns are not put up for retail sale and contain less than 85 percent by weight of cotton.

The key differentiator for this classification lies in the yarn's tenacity. Compared to its siblings, such as 5206.11.00.00 (not exceeding 14 tex) or 5206.14.00.00 (exceeding 52 tex but not exceeding 80 tex), this category applies to yarns with a higher tex value, meaning they are finer and have a greater number of yards per unit of weight. It is crucial to accurately determine the tex value of the single yarn to ensure correct classification.

As a leaf node, 5206.15.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies solely on the precise determination of the yarn's tenacity (exceeding 80 tex) and its composition (single yarn of uncombed cotton fibers, less than 85% cotton, not for retail sale). Examples of goods falling under this heading would include various types of fine cotton thread used in further textile manufacturing processes, such as weaving or knitting, where a finer gauge yarn is required for the final product.
