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.
