5107.20.60.00 - Other (400)

This HTS category, 5107.20.60.00, encompasses "Other" yarns of combed wool, not put up for retail sale, that contain less than 85 percent by weight of wool. This designation serves as a residual category for such yarns that do not fit into more specific subcategories within the broader classification of combed wool yarns. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is the wool content, which must be below the 85% threshold, and that the yarn is not packaged for direct consumer purchase.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5107.20.30.00, lies in the average fiber diameter of the wool. While 5107.20.30.00 specifically covers combed wool yarns with an average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less, this category, 5107.20.60.00, captures all other combed wool yarns containing less than 85% wool, irrespective of their fiber diameter. Therefore, if a combed wool yarn has less than 85% wool content and an average fiber diameter exceeding 18.5 microns, it would be classified under this "Other" designation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 5107.20.60.00 is definitive once the criteria of containing less than 85 percent by weight of wool and not being put up for retail sale are met, and the yarn is not specifically covered by the more granular sibling category based on fiber diameter. This category ensures comprehensive coverage for all qualifying combed wool yarns not otherwise specified.
