Overview
This HTS classification, 5306.20.00.00, pertains to flax yarn that is either multiple (folded) or cabled. This means the yarn is formed by twisting two or more single strands of flax together. The resulting yarns are generally stronger and more uniform than single yarns. This category specifically excludes single flax yarns, regardless of their thickness.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5306.10.00.00 (Single), lies solely in the construction of the yarn. While both are classified under flax yarn, 5306.20.00.00 applies exclusively to folded or cabled constructions. The "800" in the description likely refers to a unit of measure, such as the number of threads in a folded yarn or a specific yarn count system, which would be a key criterion for classification if further subdivision were present.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this heading therefore hinges on confirming that the yarn is indeed made from flax fibers and that it is a multiple or cabled construction, as opposed to a single strand. Examples of products falling here would include multi-ply sewing threads or cabling yarns used in specific textile manufacturing processes where enhanced strength and durability are required.
