Last updated: August 2026 dataCarded wool yarn at or above the 85% wool threshold — sold in bulk form rather than consumer retail packages — is a primary input for woolen fabric mills producing blankets, outerwear, and industrial felts. The carding process, which aligns fibers less uniformly than combing, produces a loftier, bulkier yarn suited to heavier woven and knitted constructions. Wool yarn imports are subject to tariff-rate quota frameworks under US schedule provisions, and buyers should confirm quota availability and certificate-of-origin requirements before contracting large volumes.

Yarn meeting the 'not under 85% wool by weight' threshold qualifies for specific tariff lines that may carry different duty rates or TRQ eligibility than blended yarns below that threshold. Importers must have laboratory test results or supplier certifications documenting fiber content by weight to support the claimed classification, as CBP may request this documentation at entry.
Carded yarn retains shorter, randomly oriented fibers, producing a softer, bulkier, and slightly hairier yarn used in woolen-system fabrics like tweeds and blankets. Combed yarn (worsted system) uses longer, parallel fibers for a smoother, stronger yarn suited to fine suiting and hosiery. The distinction matters for classification, end-use specification, and price negotiation.
