Garnetted stock is fiber recovered by mechanically pulling apart textile waste — such as yarn or fabric scraps — without re-extrusion. It retains an irregular, reclaimed character. Recycled staple fiber that has been re-melted and re-extruded into new filaments and then cut to length is no longer waste and classifies under the appropriate staple fiber heading.

Yes, both manufacturing waste (such as yarn waste from spinning mills) and reclaimed post-consumer fiber waste can fall here, provided the material has not been reprocessed into a new fiber form. The key is the physical state of the material at the time of import, not the stage of the supply chain at which the waste was generated.
