Coarse animal hair waste — including yarn waste from horsehair, cattle hair, and similar fibers — is captured under a single tariff line (5103300000) and serves industrial recycling and brush-manufacturing supply chains. India and China are the leading US suppliers, reflecting their large livestock populations and active fiber-processing industries that generate substantial coarse hair byproducts.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Coarse animal hair waste is primarily used in the manufacture of industrial brushes, felt padding, and low-grade stuffing materials. Some grades are processed into fiber boards or used as a binder in construction materials. The low unit value of this commodity means freight costs and minimum order quantities are significant factors in sourcing decisions.
CBP may request species identification or fiber-diameter documentation to confirm that material is correctly classified as coarse rather than fine animal hair waste. A supplier's declaration specifying the animal species (e.g., horse, cattle, pig) and, where available, a fiber-diameter test report, will support the classification and reduce the risk of a CBP query or redelivery demand.
