Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 510539 when importing or exporting carded or combed fine animal hair, excluding cashmere. For example, if you're shipping a batch of carded merino wool, this code applies.
This code specifically covers fine animal hair that has been carded or combed, such as wool from sheep breeds other than cashmere goats. If you're dealing with cashmere, you would use HS-6 510510 instead.
