Last updated: August 2026 dataBlended wool and fine animal hair yarns — where wool or fine hair constitutes less than 85% of the fiber weight — packaged in skeins, balls, or cards for direct retail sale to consumers or craft retailers. The sub-85% threshold is a critical classification boundary: yarns at or above 85% wool content fall under a separate SITC heading, making fiber-content documentation essential for correct entry. These blended retail yarns commonly incorporate synthetic or other natural fibers to improve durability, cost, or texture, and are widely traded across the craft and hand-knitting supply chain.

Classification hinges on the percentage of wool or fine animal hair by weight relative to total fiber content. Importers must provide fiber composition certificates or mill test reports to substantiate that the blend falls below the 85% threshold; misclassification between the sub-85% and 85%-or-above headings can trigger reclassification and duty adjustments at entry.
Yes — whether yarn is packaged for retail sale is a distinct classification criterion under both SITC and HTS schedules. Retail-packaged yarn (in consumer-ready balls, skeins, or cards) is classified separately from industrial or bulk yarn, and the two forms may carry different duty rates. Importers should ensure that packaging configuration at time of importation matches the declared classification.
