Yarn of Coarse Animal Hair or Horsehair

The main end-use sectors include upholstered furniture manufacturing (where horsehair and cattle hair provide resilient padding), brush and broom production, musical instrument bow-hair supply, and specialty weaving for traditional or artisanal textiles. Industrial buyers typically specify fiber length and cleanliness grade rather than micron diameter, which is the key commercial specification difference from fine hair yarns.

The trade volume of coarse animal hair yarn is relatively small and the retail market is niche, so the tariff schedule consolidates both packaging forms into a single heading rather than maintaining separate lines. This contrasts with wool yarn, where the retail versus bulk distinction reflects meaningful differences in duty treatment and quota applicability. Importers should still accurately declare packaging form on entry documents even though both forms share the heading.
