Last updated: April 2026 dataBlankets and travel rugs woven or knitted from wool or fine animal hair — including cashmere, merino, alpaca, and mohair — occupy a premium segment of the textile home goods market, with fiber grade and country of origin being the primary commercial differentiators. Wool textile articles are subject to textile import monitoring, and certain wool blanket lines have historically carried tariff-rate-quota treatment, making quota status a key consideration for high-volume importers. The distinction between 'wool' and 'fine animal hair' (defined by fiber diameter thresholds) must be supported by fiber-content testing, as misclassification between these categories is a common compliance issue.

Under standard textile classification rules, fine animal hair refers to hair from certain animals (such as cashmere goats, angora rabbits, alpacas, and vicuñas) with fiber diameters generally at or below defined thresholds. The specific thresholds and species lists are set out in the tariff schedule notes. Laboratory fiber analysis from an accredited testing facility is the standard method for confirming classification, and importers should obtain test reports from their suppliers.
Certain wool blanket tariff lines have historically been subject to tariff-rate-quota (TRQ) provisions, under which a lower duty rate applies to imports within the quota quantity and a higher rate applies above it. Quota fill rates and eligibility vary by HTS line and origin. Importers should check current TRQ status with CBP and consult a customs broker to determine whether their specific product and volume qualify for within-quota treatment.
