Overview
This HTS category, 5101.19.60, covers wool that is in its greasy state (meaning it has not been scoured or washed to remove natural grease and dirt) but does not fall into the more specific subcategories of "Unimproved wool; other wool, not finer than 46s." This designation applies to greasy wool that is of a fineness not specifically defined by the preceding sibling category.
The key differentiator for this category lies in the fineness of the wool fibers. While the sibling category addresses wool up to a certain fineness (not finer than 46s), this "Other" category encompasses greasy wool that either exceeds this fineness or is not otherwise specified within the more restrictive sibling classifications. Therefore, the classification hinges on assessing the specific micron count or grade of the greasy wool being imported or exported.
Within this category, further distinctions are made based on the fineness of the wool, as indicated by the subcategories. The subdivisions differentiate between wool that is "Not finer than 58s" and wool that is "Finer than 58s." This granular classification allows for precise tariff application based on the economic value and specific end-use characteristics of different grades of greasy wool.
