Last updated: April 2026 dataFine animal hair fibers other than cashmere — alpaca, llama, angora rabbit, vicuña, and similar specialty fibers — are the defining commercial distinction of this residual sweater heading. Peru leads US supply, reflecting its dominant position in alpaca knitwear, a fiber prized for its softness and thermal properties and produced almost exclusively in the Andean region. Italy ranks second, supplying high-end European knitwear in angora and other fine hair blends. The 10 active 10-digit lines subdivide by gender, age group, and garment type, all under the 'fine animal hair, NESOI' designation.

Alpaca is classified as a 'fine animal hair' under the HTS, while wool from sheep falls under heading 611011. The distinction is based on the animal species of origin. Laboratory fiber analysis using microscopy can confirm fiber diameter and scale pattern to differentiate alpaca from wool. Importers of Peruvian knitwear should ensure mill certificates or fiber analysis reports accompany shipments to support the fine animal hair classification.
Yes, vicuña fiber — from the wild South American camelid — falls under the fine animal hair category and is classified within heading 611019. However, vicuña is also listed under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), and importers must ensure that vicuña-content garments are accompanied by valid CITES documentation demonstrating legal harvest and export. Failure to provide CITES permits can result in seizure at the border regardless of tariff classification.
