Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 510910 when importing or exporting yarn made from wool or fine animal hair, specifically when it contains 85% or more wool. For example, a shipment of retail-packaged wool yarn skeins would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 510890, which covers other types of yarn made from wool or fine animal hair but with lower wool content or different packaging. If your product contains less than 85% wool, you’ll need to classify it differently.
The HS-4 heading 5109 narrows down the focus to yarns made from wool or fine animal hair that are ready for retail sale. This includes various forms of yarn, ensuring they meet consumer packaging standards.
When considering HS-6 510910, think of products like retail-ready balls of yarn, packaged skeins, or spools labeled as 100% wool. These items are often used for knitting and crafting.
