✅ Customs Classification and Tariff Summary for Cotton Yarn
Below is a structured breakdown of the HS codes and associated tariffs for the cotton yarn products you've described. This includes base tariffs, additional tariffs, and time-sensitive policies.
🔢 1. Cotton Yarn (Non-Retail, Ring Spun, Compact, 14–43 nm)
HS CODE: 5205420021
Description:
- Cotton yarn (other than sewing thread), containing 85% or more by weight of cotton
- Not put up for retail sale

- Ring spun, compact, exceeding 41 nm
Tariff Breakdown:
- Base Tariff: 6.5%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 61.5%
Key Notes: - This classification applies to non-retail, high-quality cotton yarn used in knitting or weaving. - The "compact" specification may affect the yarn's texture and performance. - April 11, 2025 is a critical date for tariff changes — ensure compliance with updated rates.
🔢 2. Cotton Yarn (Non-Retail, Ring Spun, Compact, 52–80 nm)

📌 Proactive Advice for Importers:
- Verify the exact composition of the yarn (e.g., cotton percentage, spinning method, and whether it's for retail or industrial use).
- Check the unit price and certifications required (e.g., organic, eco-friendly, or textile certifications).
- Confirm the HS code with customs authorities or a qualified customs broker to avoid penalties.
- Monitor the April 11, 2025 deadline for tariff changes and update your import strategy accordingly.
- Review anti-dumping duties if applicable (though not mentioned here, they may apply to certain cotton imports).
