5207.90.00.00 - Other (200)

This HTS classification, 5207.90.00.00, pertains to cotton yarn (other than sewing thread) put up for retail sale, where the yarn does not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings within this chapter. Specifically, it covers retail-packaged cotton yarn that is not predominantly composed of cotton by weight. This category serves as a residual classification for cotton yarns intended for direct consumer purchase, ensuring all such products not otherwise specified find their appropriate place within the tariff schedule.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 5207.10.00.00, by the percentage of cotton content. While 5207.10.00.00 specifically covers cotton yarns containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, this subheading encompasses those retail-packaged cotton yarns with a lower cotton content. The distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application, focusing on the material composition as a primary classification factor.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5207.90.00.00 is determined by the absence of qualifying for more specific headings. Importers should carefully consider the fiber content and intended use of the yarn to ensure proper classification under this residual provision for retail-packaged cotton yarn.
