5206.25.00.00 - Exceeding 80 nm (301)

This HTS classification, 5206.25.00.00, specifically covers single yarns of cotton, made from combed fibers, that are not intended for retail sale. The defining characteristic of yarns within this category is their fineness: they must have a specific linear density exceeding 80 tex. This means the yarn is relatively fine, with more than 80 grams of mass per every 10,000 meters.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings by a precise measurement of yarn fineness. While 5206.21.00.00 covers yarns not exceeding 14 tex, 5206.22.00.00 handles those exceeding 14 but not exceeding 43 tex, and 5206.23.00.00 addresses yarns between 43 and 52 tex, and 5206.24.00.00 classifies yarns exceeding 52 but not exceeding 80 tex, this category is for yarns that are finer still, specifically those *exceeding* 80 tex. This precise range ensures accurate differentiation based on the physical properties of the yarn.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 5206.25.00.00. Classification within this code is solely determined by the yarn being a single yarn of combed cotton, not put up for retail sale, and meeting the specific fineness criterion of exceeding 80 tex. This means the determination relies directly on measuring the linear density (tex) of the yarn.
