5101.11.50.00 - Other wool, finer than 44s

This HTS category, 5101.11.50.00, encompasses shorn wool that is greasy (including fleece-washed) and falls under the classification of "other wool" with a fineness finer than 44s. This specifically refers to wool fibers that have not undergone carding or combing processes and retain their natural grease content, indicating they are in their raw, unpurified state.

The key distinction of this subcategory lies in its fineness specification. It is differentiated from sibling categories by its inclusion of wool finer than 44s, but the "other wool" designation implies it does not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the 44s range. For instance, 5101.11.20.00 covers wool not finer than 40s, and 5101.11.40.00 includes wool finer than 40s but not finer than 44s. Therefore, 5101.11.50.00 captures the next increment of wool fineness within this greasy, shorn wool classification.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification under 5101.11.50.00 is determined by the wool being shorn, greasy, and possessing a fineness exceeding 44s, while not falling under any more specific classifications that might exist at a deeper level (though none are present here). This means that imported or exported wool meeting these precise criteria would be assigned this code.
