Wool tops and other combed wool presented in fragment form — small, broken pieces of combed sliver rather than continuous top — are classified under tariff line 5105210000 and serve as a cost-effective input for worsted spinning where continuous top length is not required. Italy and Turkey are the leading US suppliers of this material, reflecting their established worsted-processing industries and active trade in intermediate wool products.

The fragment distinction (510521 vs. 510529) reflects a physical form difference: fragments are broken or short pieces of combed sliver, while 510529 covers continuous or longer-form combed wool tops. The distinction matters commercially because fragments are typically lower-priced and used in blended or lower-count worsted yarns, while continuous tops command a premium for fine worsted spinning.
As of current trade policy, combed wool fragments from Turkey are not known to be subject to antidumping, countervailing duty, or Section 301 measures. However, Turkey's trade status can be affected by changes to preference programs and tariff schedules. Importers should confirm the current duty treatment and any applicable trade measures with a licensed customs broker at the time of entry.
