Last updated: August 2026 dataBlended carded wool yarn containing less than 85% wool by weight — often combined with synthetic or other natural fibers to reduce cost or modify hand — enters under a single US tariff line (5106200000). The United Kingdom leads supply to the US market, followed by Turkey and Italy, reflecting both traditional woolen-spinning capacity and competitive blended-yarn production. Wool content below the 85% threshold is the key classification trigger; importers must verify fiber composition by weight through mill certificates or laboratory analysis to avoid misclassification against the higher-content heading.

When wool content is near the 85% boundary, importers should obtain a fiber composition certificate from the manufacturer, ideally supported by an independent laboratory test report. CBP may request this documentation during examination, and a discrepancy between declared and tested composition can result in reclassification and additional duties.
At the HS6 level, heading 510620 does not subdivide by the nature of the non-wool fiber — the sole criterion is that wool content is less than 85% by weight. However, if the non-wool component is a fine animal hair (such as cashmere), the product may need to be evaluated against fine-animal-hair yarn headings rather than the wool yarn headings.
