Heading 5205 covers cotton yarn (other than sewing thread), containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale. It splits into 5 six-digit subheadings and 14 US tariff lines, 0 of which are duty-free under the general rate.
Headings are the four-digit level of the Harmonized System — the layer that is identical across all 160-plus countries that use it. The six-digit subheading is also international; the last two digits of each code here are US-specific and do not carry across to another country's tariff.
