Last updated: September 2026 dataCarded yarn spun from fine animal hair — including mohair, cashmere, alpaca, and similar specialty fibers — not packaged for retail sale is split in the US schedule into mohair-specific (5108104000) and all other fine-hair carded yarn (5108108000), with a catch-all line (5108100000) also present. Italy and the United Kingdom are the leading suppliers, reflecting Europe's deep infrastructure for processing luxury fiber into industrial-format yarn. Mohair yarn warrants particular attention because South Africa and Turkey dominate global mohair fiber supply, yet the finished yarn often reaches the US via European spinning mills.

The US schedule provides a dedicated line (5108104000) for carded mohair yarn not for retail sale, distinguishing it from other carded fine-hair yarns (5108108000). Importers must identify the fiber species on the commercial invoice and mill certificate; declaring a mohair yarn under the general NESOI line risks misclassification.
CBP expects evidence that the yarn is in industrial packaging — large cones, cheeses, or hanks without consumer labeling or small-quantity retail packs. Supporting documents include the commercial invoice describing package weight and format, packing lists, and, where relevant, a mill certificate confirming the yarn is destined for further manufacturing rather than direct consumer sale.
