Last updated: August 2026 dataWool, silk, and related specialty fiber imports serve the US luxury apparel, technical textile, and high-end home furnishings markets, with classification hinging on fiber type, processing stage (raw, combed, yarn, or fabric), and blend composition. Wool in particular is subject to tariff-rate quota treatment under certain HTS provisions, making quota timing and certificate-of-eligibility documentation a recurring compliance consideration for importers. Silk and other fine animal fibers such as cashmere, alpaca, and mohair each occupy distinct HTS chapters, and mislabeling fiber content on commercial invoices can trigger CBP enforcement action under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act. Importers handling raw animal fibers should also be aware of USDA APHIS restrictions that may apply to certain unprocessed animal-origin materials.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
TRQ treatment for wool applies to specific HTS subheadings covering certain wool fabrics and apparel articles. Within-quota entries receive a lower duty rate, while over-quota shipments face a higher rate. Importers must track quota fill levels through CBP's quota bulletin and time entries accordingly to secure within-quota treatment.
USDA APHIS may impose restrictions or require permits for certain raw or minimally processed animal fibers that could carry foreign animal disease risk. Processed wool and silk that have undergone sufficient treatment are generally not subject to APHIS quarantine requirements, but importers of raw or greasy wool should verify current APHIS import conditions before shipment.
