5101.30.10.00 - Unimproved wool; other wool, not finer than 40s

This HTS classification covers unimproved wool that has been carbonized but not further processed beyond this treatment. Specifically, it applies to "other wool" within this carbonized category that is not finer than 40s count. The "unimproved" designation signifies that the wool has not undergone processes such as carding or combing, retaining its natural state before the carbonization treatment.

This category is distinguished from its siblings based on the fineness of the wool, measured by its count. While 5101.30.10.00 specifically addresses wool not finer than 40s, sibling categories like 5101.30.15.00 cover wool finer than 40s but not finer than 44s, and 5101.30.30.00 covers wool finer than 44s but not finer than 46s. Category 5101.30.40.00 acts as a residual category for any other unimproved, carbonized wool not fitting the finer classifications.

As a leaf node, this classification represents a specific end-point in the HTS structure for this particular type of wool. No further subdivisions exist under this code. Therefore, precise adherence to the fineness criteria (not finer than 40s) and the condition of being carbonized but otherwise unimproved is crucial for correct classification. This ensures accurate duty assessment and compliance with trade regulations.
