5108.20.80.00 - Other (400)

This HTS category, 5108.20.80.00, encompasses yarns spun from fine animal hair that have been combed, are not intended for direct retail sale, and do not fall into the more specific subcategories of Angora rabbit hair or mohair. This "Other" designation serves as a catch-all for combed fine animal hair yarns that do not fit the preceding classifications. It is crucial for importers and exporters to accurately identify the specific type of fine animal hair used to ensure correct classification.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is key. While 5108.20.30.00 specifically covers combed yarns derived from Angora rabbit hair, and 5108.20.40.00 pertains to combed yarns made from mohair, this category 5108.20.80.00 is for combed fine animal hair yarns of *other* origins. Examples might include yarns spun from alpaca, llama, vicuña, cashmere, or other fine animal hairs that are not explicitly listed in the preceding sibling categories. The commonality across all these yarns is that they are combed, not carded, and are presented in bulk, not as finished retail packages.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. The classification decision hinges on the accurate identification of the base fine animal hair and confirmation that it is combed and not put up for retail sale. The "Other (400)" notation in the description suggests a potential for a specific dutiable amount or unit of measure associated with this classification, which should be verified against current customs regulations.
