5109.10.90.00 - Other (400) 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 5109.10.90.00, encompasses yarns of wool or fine animal hair, prepared for retail sale, that contain 85 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, and are not specifically classified under other headings within 5109.10. Specifically, it covers yarns not meeting the criteria for the sibling category 5109.10.80.00.

The distinction between this category and its sibling lies in the average fiber diameter of the wool or fine animal hair. While 5109.10.80.00 specifically covers yarns with an average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less, this category, 5109.10.90.00, applies to all other yarns meeting the general 85% content rule but exceeding this specific micron diameter. This means yarns made from coarser wool or fine animal hair, or those where the average fiber diameter is not specified or measured, would typically fall here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 5109.10.90.00. Therefore, classification within this specific code relies solely on meeting the primary requirements of being a retail-ready yarn of wool or fine animal hair, containing at least 85% of such fibers, and not fitting the more precisely defined sibling category based on average fiber diameter. Examples might include hand-knitting yarns of coarser wools or blended fine animal hairs that do not meet the diameter specifications for other classifications.
