Overview
This HTS category, 5408.32.05, specifically classifies dyed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. These fabrics are woven from man-made filaments and are distinguished by their dyed coloration. The inclusion of a significant proportion of wool or fine animal hair dictates their placement within this specific sub-division of woven artificial filament fabrics.
Within the broader category of "Other woven fabrics" that are dyed, this heading differentiates itself by focusing on those predominantly composed of wool or fine animal hair. Sibling categories, such as 5408.32.10, would encompass dyed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that do not meet the specific wool or fine animal hair content threshold or are of a different primary construction.
This category is further subdivided based on the preparation of the wool or fine animal hair content. The subcategories 5408.32.05.10 and 5408.32.05.20 distinguish between fabrics where the wool or fine animal hair is "Not combed" and where it is "Combed," respectively. This distinction in processing directly impacts the texture, appearance, and ultimately, the classification of the final fabric.
