5206.23.00.00 - Exceeding 43 nm but not exceeding 52 nm (301)

This HTS category, 5206.23.00.00, specifically classifies single yarns of cotton, spun from combed fibers. These yarns are characterized by a specific yarn count, falling within a range where the linear density exceeds 43 but does not exceed 52 nanometers (nm). This precise measurement is a critical determinant for accurate classification under this heading, differentiating it from other single yarns of combed cotton.

The distinction of this subcategory from its siblings lies solely in the yarn count. For instance, 5206.21.00.00 covers yarns with a count not exceeding 14 nm, while 5206.22.00.00 encompasses yarns from over 14 nm up to 43 nm. Conversely, 5206.24.00.00 and 5206.25.00.00 deal with yarns exceeding 52 nm, up to 80 nm, and over 80 nm, respectively. Therefore, the defining criterion for 5206.23.00.00 is its placement within that precise mid-range of yarn fineness.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 5206.23.00.00. The classification is complete at this level, based on the material (cotton), the form (single yarn from combed fibers), and the specified yarn count range. This ensures that these particular single cotton yarns, when not put up for retail sale, are consistently identified for customs purposes.
