5101.29.70.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 5101.29.70.00, encompasses degreased wool that is not carbonized and does not fall under the specific unimproved or 46s quality classifications found in sibling category 5101.29.65.00. It serves as a residual classification for degreased wool meeting general quality and preparation standards. The "Other" designation indicates that any degreased wool, not carded or combed, which has not undergone carbonization and is not otherwise specifically enumerated, will be classified here.

The key differentiator from its sibling lies in the exclusion of "unimproved wool" and wool specifically classified as "not finer than 46s." This category therefore covers degreased wool of various fineness grades beyond those explicitly mentioned in the sibling. The degreasing process removes natural grease (lanolin) without the harsh chemical treatment of carbonization, preserving the wool's fibers for further processing.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 5101.29.70.00 depends on the exclusion criteria of other more specific subheadings within 5101.29. The presence of lanolin, or the process of carbonization, would typically lead to classification under different HTS codes.
