5106 — Yarn of carded wool, not put up for retail sale
Chapter 51: Wool, fine or coarse animal hair
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5106 when importing yarn made from carded wool that isn't packaged for retail sale. For example, if you're bringing in bulk yarn for textile manufacturing, this heading applies. It covers yarn with different wool content, which is crucial for determining the correct subheading.
When deciding between the subheadings, consider the wool content. HS-6 510610 is for yarn containing 85% or more wool by weight, while HS-6 510620 is for yarn with less than 85% wool. This distinction is important for compliance and duty rates.
If your shipment consists of carded wool yarn that is not intended for retail, ensure you verify the wool percentage. Misclassifying your yarn could lead to delays or additional tariffs, so check your product specifications carefully.
