Wool and fine animal hair serve as the primary blending partner in these sub-85% artificial staple fiber yarns, a combination that targets premium apparel and suiting markets where the drape of viscose or modal complements the warmth and handle of wool. Canada leads US supply under this heading, followed by India and Italy — a sourcing spread that reflects both North American integrated textile operations and European specialty spinning traditions. The single 10-digit line is 5510200000, and fiber composition documentation is critical given the premium nature of the animal hair component.

Fine animal hair includes fibers from animals such as goats (cashmere, mohair), rabbits (angora), camels, alpacas, and vicuñas, as defined in HS Chapter 51 notes. Cashmere qualifies. The fiber must be identified by species in the mill certificate, as different fine animal hair types may carry different commercial value and, in some cases, different regulatory considerations for fiber labeling under the US Textile Fiber Products Identification Act.
Yarns sold or offered for sale in the US must comply with the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (TFPIA), which requires disclosure of fiber content by generic name and percentage. For industrial (non-retail) bulk yarn, labeling requirements apply at the point of retail sale downstream, but importers should ensure supplier documentation accurately identifies all fiber components to support downstream compliance.
