Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven from coarse animal hair — including horsehair, camel hair classified as coarse, or similar bristle-type fibers — these fabrics serve industrial and artisanal end uses such as upholstery interlinings, sieve cloth, and traditional craft textiles. The coarse-versus-fine hair distinction is critical at classification: fine animal hair (e.g., cashmere, angora) falls under separate headings, so fiber identification documentation from the supplier is essential. Volume in this category is relatively modest, and sourcing tends to be concentrated among a small number of specialty mills.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers generally need a mill certificate or laboratory fiber analysis specifying the species and average fiber diameter in microns. CBP uses fiber diameter thresholds to distinguish coarse animal hair from fine specialty hair; without this documentation, the shipment risks reclassification into a higher-duty fine-hair heading.
Traditional applications include tailoring interlinings (canvas chest pieces in structured garments), upholstery support layers, and specialty sieve or filter cloth. Demand is niche but stable, driven largely by bespoke tailoring houses and heritage furniture manufacturers.
