5108.10.30.00 - Of Angora rabbit hair (400)

This HTS category, 5108.10.30.00, specifically classifies carded yarn made from Angora rabbit hair. This yarn is not intended for direct sale to consumers and is typically used as a raw material in the manufacturing of various textile products. The defining characteristic for this classification is the exclusive use of Angora rabbit hair as the primary fiber content.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Category 5108.10.40.00 covers carded yarn of mohair, a different animal hair with distinct properties. Similarly, category 5108.10.80.00 encompasses all other carded yarns of fine animal hair not otherwise specified, serving as a residual category. Therefore, this specific classification hinges on the precise identification of the animal hair source as Angora rabbit.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under this code is determined solely by the material composition (Angora rabbit hair) and the preparation of the yarn (carded, not put up for retail sale). Importers and exporters should ensure that their goods meet these criteria, typically confirmed through laboratory analysis or clear documentation of the fiber source, to avoid misclassification and potential duties.
