5110 — Yarn of coarse animal hair or of horsehair (including gimped horsehair yarn), whether or not put up for retail sale
Chapter 51: Wool, fine or coarse animal hair
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5110 when importing yarn made from coarse animal hair or horsehair, such as gimped horsehair yarn. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of horsehair yarn for upholstery, this code is applicable.
When deciding between HS-6 511000, consider whether your yarn is specifically made from coarse animal hair or horsehair. If your product is a blend or has unique characteristics, you may need to explore further classifications.
If your yarn is packaged for retail sale, it still falls under HS-4 5110. However, ensure that the packaging does not alter the yarn's classification. For instance, gimped horsehair yarn, which has a distinctive texture, is included in this heading.
Be aware that while this heading covers only one subheading, the specific characteristics of your yarn—such as its origin and processing—can influence import duties and regulations.
