5108.10.40.00 - Of mohair (400)

This HTS classification, 5108.10.40.00, specifically covers yarn spun from mohair, which is derived from the Angora goat. The yarn in this category has undergone a carding process but has not yet been combed. It is intended for industrial or commercial use and is not packaged for direct sale to consumers.

The key distinction of this category lies in its specific raw material: mohair. It is differentiated from its sibling category, 5108.10.30.00, which covers yarn made from Angora rabbit hair. Both are carded yarns of fine animal hair, but the source animal and thus the inherent properties of the fiber, are different. The sibling category 5108.10.80.00 serves as a residual category for carded fine animal hair yarns not classifiable under the more specific entries.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 5108.10.40.00 is on confirming the material (mohair), the processing (carded yarn), and the presentation (not for retail sale). Examples of products that would fall here include bulk yarn for textile manufacturing, such as that used in the production of high-quality apparel, upholstery, or specialized fabrics where the unique characteristics of mohair are desired.
