Overview
This HTS category, 5207.10.00.00, specifically classifies cotton yarn that is put up for retail sale and comprises 85 percent or more by weight of cotton. This designation is crucial for importers and exporters, as it dictates specific tariff rates and potential trade regulations. The "put up for retail sale" aspect generally refers to yarn packaged in a manner suitable for direct purchase by consumers, such as skeins, balls, hanks, or cones, often with labels indicating quantity, weight, and recommended use.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5207.90.00.00 (Other), lies in the precise cotton content. While 5207.10.00.00 exclusively covers yarns with a high cotton composition (85% or more), 5207.90.00.00 would encompass cotton yarns that fall below this threshold, or potentially blends with a dominant cotton content but not meeting the 85% minimum, as well as yarns of other textile materials put up for retail sale within this chapter's scope. The classification hinges on accurate material composition analysis.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, the focus remains on clearly identifying and differentiating yarn based on its cotton content and its presentation for retail sale. Practical application of this classification requires careful examination of the product's composition and its packaging to ensure correct tariff assignment.
