Overview

This HTS category, 5101, encompasses raw wool that has not undergone the carding or combing processes. This means the wool fibers are still in a relatively unorganized state, as they are shorn from the sheep. It includes wool in its natural state, whether greasy (containing natural lanolin), fleece-washed, or degreased, but it has not yet been prepared for spinning into yarn or weaving into fabric through mechanical alignment of the fibers.

Category 5101 is distinct from its sibling categories, which are located in completely different chapters and deal with entirely different classes of goods, such as live animals (e.g., 0101 for horses, 0102 for bovine animals, 0103 for swine, 0104 for sheep and goats, 0105 for poultry). While these sibling categories also fall under the broader HTS structure, they are fundamentally unrelated to textile materials. The classification of wool begins with Chapter 51.

Within category 5101, further distinctions are made based on the processing the wool has undergone. The subcategories differentiate between wool that is "Greasy, including fleece-washed wool," indicating it retains its natural lanolin; "Degreased, not carbonized," meaning the lanolin has been removed but the fibers have not been treated to remove any residual vegetable matter through carbonization; and "Carbonized," which has undergone a process to remove vegetable matter, preparing it for more advanced textile manufacturing.
