Last updated: April 2026 dataConsumer-packaged wool and fine animal hair yarn at 85% or more fiber content — the hand-knitting and craft market's primary import category — is subdivided in the US schedule by fiber type and specification, including dedicated lines for angora rabbit hair (5109104000), wool with cut staple not exceeding 8 cm (5109102000), and superfine other animal hair at or below 18.5 microns (5109108000). Peru and Italy lead US supply, with Peru's alpaca yarn sector particularly prominent in the retail craft segment. Retail packaging format — small skeins or balls with consumer labeling — is the key condition distinguishing this heading from the bulk industrial yarn headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yarn packaged in small balls, skeins, or hanks with consumer-facing labels showing fiber content, weight, yardage, and care instructions is generally considered put up for retail sale. Industrial cones or cheeses without consumer labeling do not meet this condition. CBP may examine packaging format and labeling at entry to confirm the correct heading.
The angora rabbit hair line is a species-specific provision that takes precedence over the general line when the yarn meets the 85%-or-more threshold and is made from angora rabbit hair. Importers of angora-content retail yarn must identify the fiber species on entry documents; classifying angora yarn under the general line when a more specific provision exists is a classification error.
