U.S. imports of yarn of coarse animal hair or horsehair (HS 511000) totaled $9K in July 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataSpun from coarse animal fibers — including ox hair, goat hair, and horsehair — this yarn category also covers gimped horsehair yarn, a specialty product used in upholstery, millinery, and traditional textile crafts. The single US tariff line (5110000000) captures all forms whether or not put up for retail sale, making fiber type and end-use documentation critical for correct classification. South Africa and Peru are the leading suppliers to the US market, reflecting their established coarse-fiber livestock industries, with Italy and China also contributing to import volumes.

Under the Harmonized System, fine animal hair refers to fibers from animals such as cashmere goats, angora rabbits, alpacas, and similar species. Coarse animal hair covers fibers from animals like horses, oxen, and other livestock not classified as fine-hair producers. The distinction is based on the animal species, not a specific micron threshold, so importers should document the fiber source clearly on commercial invoices.
No — both plain and gimped (wrapped or twisted around a core) horsehair yarns fall within this heading and are captured under the single US tariff line 5110000000. The gimped construction does not move the product to a different chapter, though it may affect valuation and end-use declarations.
