5101.29.35.00 - Other wool, finer than 44s 🖩

This HTS category, 5101.29.35.00, encompasses degreased wool that has not undergone carbonization and is classified as "other wool" with a fineness finer than 44s. This classification is specifically for wool that has been processed only to the point of degreasing, meaning grease, dirt, and other impurities have been removed, but no further mechanical or chemical treatments like carding or combing have been applied. The "other wool" designation indicates it does not fall into more specific sub-classifications within this broad group.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's crucial to note the fineness criteria. HTS code 5101.29.15.00 covers "Unimproved wool; other wool, not finer than 40s," while 5101.29.30.00 deals with "Other wool, finer than 40s but not finer than 44s." Therefore, 5101.29.35.00 specifically captures wool that is coarser than 44s but still falls within the "other wool" and degreased, uncarbonized grouping, and has not undergone any further processing beyond degreasing.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level hinges on the precise measurement of wool fiber fineness (in Bradford count or equivalent) and confirmation that the material is indeed degreased but otherwise unprocessed beyond this stage, and does not fit into more specific categories based on wool type or fineness.
