Product Description:
- Cotton yarn (other than sewing thread), containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale

Key Notes: - This classification applies to non-retail cotton yarn with specific fineness (nm) and spinning method. - "Compact" refers to a specific spinning process that improves yarn quality and reduces hairiness. - "Ring spun" is a traditional spinning method that results in a stronger, more uniform yarn.
Proactive Advice: - Confirm the exact fineness (nm) and spinning method to ensure correct classification. - Ensure the product is not packaged for retail sale to avoid misclassification under HS 5207.
