5102.19.60.60 - Other

This HTS classification, 5102.19.60.60, covers fine animal hair that has undergone degreasing or carbonization but no further processing. It specifically includes fine animal hair, other than that of the Angora goat (5102.19.60.30), which has not been carded or combed. The primary characteristic defining this category is the state of the hair, being essentially cleaned of grease and natural impurities or subjected to a process that removes non-fibrous organic matter, without any manipulation that would alter the orientation or preparation of the fibers for spinning.

The distinction from its sibling category, 5102.19.60.30, is based on the specific animal source of the fine hair. While both fall under "Other" fine animal hair not processed beyond degreased or carbonized conditions, 5102.19.60.60 encompasses all such hair except for that originating from the Angora goat. This means this category would include other fine animal hairs like cashmere, alpaca, vicuña, or yak, provided they meet the processing criteria.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category has no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 5102.19.60.60 is on confirming that the material is indeed fine animal hair, has undergone only degreasing or carbonization, and is not specifically Angora goat hair. The absence of carding or combing is crucial, indicating the fibers remain in a relatively natural, albeit cleaned, state.
