Last updated: April 2026 dataCoarse animal hair — including horsehair, cattle hair, and similar fibers — enters the US in raw, unprocessed form under a single tariff line (5102200000), making classification straightforward but fiber-identity documentation still essential. This material serves industrial end-uses such as upholstery stuffing, brush manufacturing, and felt production rather than apparel textiles. The Netherlands, Italy, and the United Kingdom are the leading US suppliers, consistent with Europe's established role in processing and re-exporting raw animal fiber commodities.

The distinction is based on fiber diameter and animal species. Fine hair generally comes from specialty animals such as cashmere goats, Angora goats, camels, alpacas, and vicuñas, and typically measures below a defined micron threshold. Coarse hair — from horses, cattle, pigs, and similar animals — falls under Chapter 51's coarse category. When the species or diameter is ambiguous, a licensed customs broker or CBP binding ruling can resolve the classification.
Coarse animal hair is used in brush and broom manufacturing, traditional upholstery padding, felt production, and specialty filtration materials. Horsehair in particular is valued in musical instrument bow-making and high-end furniture. These niche industrial demands, rather than apparel, define the import market for this heading.
