HS Code 52051110: Single Cotton Yarn - An Overview

The HS Code 52051110 refers to a specific type of single cotton yarn that is composed of 85% or more cotton by weight. This yarn is made from uncombed fibers and is not over 14 nm in size. It is unbleached, not mercerized, and not put up for retail sale.

The HS Code system is an international classification system that is used to classify and define products for the purpose of customs and trade. It is a standardized system that is used by countries all over the world to facilitate international trade.

Product Description

• Composition: The single cotton yarn classified under HS Code 52051110 is made up of at least 85% cotton by weight. This ensures that the yarn has the desired properties of cotton, such as breathability and comfort.
• Fiber Type: The yarn is made from uncombed fibers, which means that the cotton fibers have not undergone the process of combing to remove impurities and align the fibers. This gives the yarn a slightly rougher texture compared to combed yarn.
• Size: The yarn is not over 14 nm in size. The unit "nm" stands for "nanometers" and refers to the thickness of the yarn. A lower nm value indicates a finer yarn, while a higher nm value indicates a thicker yarn.
• Treatment: The yarn is unbleached, which means that it has not undergone a bleaching process to remove any natural color or impurities. It is also not mercerized, which is a process that gives cotton yarn a lustrous appearance and increased strength.
• Retail Packaging: The yarn is not put up for retail sale, which means that it is typically sold to manufacturers or wholesalers who use it to produce other products.
