5408.32.05.10 - Not combed (410)

This HTS category encompasses woven fabrics manufactured from artificial filament yarn that are dyed and predominantly composed of wool or fine animal hair. Specifically, these fabrics must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, while also being "not combed." This designation refers to the state of the artificial filament yarn prior to weaving; "not combed" implies the filaments have not undergone a process of aligning and smoothing, which can affect the fabric's final texture and appearance.

The critical distinction for this category, compared to its sibling 5408.32.05.20, lies in the processing of the artificial filament yarn. While both fabrics are dyed, woven from artificial filament, and predominantly contain wool or fine animal hair, this category specifically covers fabrics where the artificial filament yarn used is *not combed*. The sibling category, conversely, would apply to fabrics utilizing combed artificial filament yarn, a difference that influences the yarn's properties and ultimately the fabric's characteristics.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on meeting all preceding criteria: being a woven fabric of artificial filament, falling under "other woven fabrics," being "dyed," being "mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair," and specifically containing "36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair" where the artificial filament yarn is not combed.
