Angora rabbit hair (5108203000) and mohair (5108204000) are commercially and biologically distinct fibers with different supply chains, price points, and end uses. Separate tariff lines allow CBP to track trade flows by fiber type and apply any species-specific measures. Importers must correctly identify the fiber on entry documents, supported by a mill or supplier certificate.
Blended fine-hair yarns where no single species meets a species-specific threshold typically fall under the NESOI line (5108208000). However, if one fiber predominates by weight and that fiber has its own dedicated line, the product may need to be classified under that species-specific provision. A fiber composition certificate from the spinner is the key document for resolving this at entry.
