Last updated: April 2026 dataWorsted-system combed wool yarn at or above the 85% wool content threshold, traded in bulk industrial form, serves as the foundational input for fine suiting fabrics, dress goods, and high-end knitwear. The combing process removes short fibers and aligns the remaining staple parallel, yielding a smooth, high-tensile yarn that commands a premium over carded equivalents. Tariff-rate quota provisions apply to wool yarn imports, and accurate fiber-content documentation is essential since the 85% threshold is a hard classification boundary.

CBP may request fiber analysis test reports from an accredited laboratory, supplier declarations, or mill certificates attesting to the wool content by weight. For large or recurring shipments, importers often obtain binding rulings or establish internal quality-control protocols to ensure consistent documentation, reducing the risk of reclassification into a blended-yarn heading.
Wool yarn imports can be subject to tariff-rate quota provisions that set a lower in-quota duty rate up to a specified volume, with higher rates applying above that threshold. Importers should check current TRQ status with CBP and consult a licensed customs broker, as quota fill rates and eligibility conditions vary by period and origin.
