Last updated: July 2026 dataProcessed cashmere — fiber from Kashmir (cashmere) goats that has been carded or combed — is among the highest-value textile fiber inputs traded globally, and its classification under tariff line 5105310000 reflects the premium placed on fiber origin and processing state. Italy and Turkey lead US imports of this material, serving as major processing and re-export hubs for raw cashmere sourced primarily from Central Asian herds. Fiber diameter (typically below 19 microns) and species verification are critical for both classification and compliance with the Wool Products Labeling Act.

CBP and downstream WPLA compliance both require that cashmere be accurately identified as fiber from Kashmir goats. Importers should obtain a supplier declaration specifying the animal species, a fiber-diameter test certificate from an accredited laboratory confirming the micron count, and a certificate of origin. Blended or mislabeled cashmere has been a recurring enforcement focus, so robust supplier documentation is essential.
Cashmere fiber processed in or transshipped through China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the applicable tariff list and any current exclusions. Given that China is a significant cashmere-processing country, importers sourcing from Italian or Turkish processors should also verify the country of origin for substantial transformation purposes, as fiber processed in a third country from Chinese-origin raw cashmere may carry a different origin determination. Consult a licensed customs broker for a current assessment.
