Last updated: July 2026 dataCashmere — fiber from Kashmir (cashmere) goats — commands its own dedicated HS6 heading, reflecting both its commercial significance and the need to distinguish it from other fine animal hair fibers. The US schedule is unusually detailed, with 16 active 10-digit lines separating 'wholly of cashmere' articles (6110121010–6110121060) from cashmere-blend NESOI articles (6110122010–6110122080), and further subdividing by gender, age group, and garment type. China dominates US supply by a wide margin, with Cambodia and Italy also significant sources; Chinese-origin cashmere sweaters are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification and potential supply-chain diversification a standing concern for importers.

The 'wholly of cashmere' lines (6110121010–6110121060) apply only when the garment is composed entirely of cashmere fiber with no blending. The NESOI lines (6110122010–6110122080) cover cashmere-blend garments where cashmere predominates by weight but other fibers are present. A sweater that is, for example, 80% cashmere and 20% silk would fall under the NESOI lines, not the 'wholly of cashmere' lines.
CBP requires that cashmere be fiber from the Kashmir goat (Capra hircus laniger). Acceptable documentation includes a manufacturer's fiber content certification, a laboratory fiber analysis identifying the species origin of the fiber, and commercial invoices specifying 'cashmere' with the fiber percentage. Mislabeling cashmere content is also a Federal Trade Commission compliance issue under US textile labeling rules, so accurate fiber identification serves both customs and consumer protection requirements.
