Last updated: July 2026 dataCashmere — the fine undercoat fiber of Kashmir (Cashmere) goats — is one of the world's most commercially valuable specialty fibers, and its classification at the raw, unprocessed stage is governed by heading 510211. The two 10-digit lines split between cashmere that has not been carded, combed, or processed beyond dehairing (5102111000) and a broader line covering fine or coarse animal hair in the same unprocessed state (5102119000). Italy leads US imports, serving as a major dehairing and trading hub, with China also a significant supplier. Correct classification requires confirming that the fiber is from Kashmir goats specifically and has not yet been carded or combed, as those processing steps move the product into Chapter 51's combed or carded fiber headings.

Dehairing — mechanically separating the fine undercoat from coarse guard hairs — does not disqualify fiber from heading 510211, provided the fiber has not been carded or combed. Dehaired cashmere that remains in loose fiber form (not yet processed into top or sliver) stays here. Once the fiber is carded or combed into a continuous strand, it moves to heading 5105.
Italy hosts several of the world's leading cashmere dehairing and trading operations, which source raw fiber primarily from Central Asian and Chinese producers, process it to remove guard hair, and re-export the cleaned fiber. Under US rules of origin, if the dehairing constitutes a substantial transformation, Italy may be the country of origin for customs purposes — though importers should verify origin determinations with a licensed customs broker given the complexity of multi-country processing chains.
