Noils are a specific, well-defined byproduct of the combing process — short fibers that fall below the length threshold for worsted spinning. Their classification is separate from general wool waste because they have a consistent fiber character and established commercial uses in woolen spinning, felt, and blended yarns. The 'not garnetted' qualifier further confirms they have not been mechanically recycled from finished goods.

No. Once cashmere noils are blended with wool noils, the resulting mixture is classified based on its predominant fiber by weight, and the cashmere designation is lost unless cashmere constitutes the majority component. Importers blending these materials should document fiber composition carefully to support accurate classification of both the input materials and any downstream products.
