5102.11.10.00 - Not processed in any manner beyond the degreased or carbonized condition

This HTS classification, 5102.11.10.00, specifically covers fine animal hair derived from Kashmir (cashmere) goats, which has undergone no processing beyond degreasing or carbonization. This means the material is in a raw state, with impurities largely removed, but it has not yet been carded or combed. The defining characteristic is the origin from cashmere goats and the limited degree of preparation.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5102.11.90.00, which encompasses all other types of fine animal hair that are also not carded or combed. Therefore, if the fine animal hair is not from Kashmir (cashmere) goats, it would fall under the "Other" designation. The critical differentiator is the specific animal source and breed.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 5102.11.10.00. The classification stops at this point, meaning any fine animal hair from cashmere goats, in a degreased or carbonized state and not carded or combed, will be classified here. Practical classification will rely on verifying the origin of the hair and confirming the extent of processing has not advanced beyond the stated limits.
