5206.41.00.00 - Not exceeding 14 nm per single yarn (301)

This HTS category, 5206.41.00.00, specifically classifies multiple (folded) or cabled cotton yarns spun from combed fibers, where each single yarn has a linear density not exceeding 14 tex (which corresponds to a count greater than 69.56 Nm). These are yarns constructed by twisting two or more single yarns together, resulting in a more robust and often thicker thread compared to single yarns. The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory is the fineness of the constituent single yarns, meaning they are relatively fine and have a high number of meters per kilogram.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings, which are also multiple (folded) or cabled yarns of combed cotton. The distinction lies solely in the linear density of the single yarn components. For instance, 5206.42.00.00 covers single yarns that are finer (exceeding 14 Nm but not exceeding 43 Nm), while 5206.45.00.00 encompasses single yarns that are coarser (exceeding 80 Nm). Therefore, the precise measurement of the single yarn's fineness is the decisive factor in correctly classifying the folded or cabled yarn within this group.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive based on the yarn construction (multiple/folded/cabled), fiber type (cotton), processing of fibers (combed), and the linear density of the individual single yarns comprising the folded or cabled yarn. This ensures accurate import and export procedures by precisely identifying yarns based on their physical characteristics and manufacturing process.
