5408.34.05.10 - Not combed (410)

This HTS subcategory, 5408.34.05.10, covers woven fabrics manufactured from artificial filament yarn that are printed and primarily or solely comprised of wool or fine animal hair, containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, and importantly, are *not combed*. The "not combed" designation refers to the state of the wool or fine animal hair fibers within the fabric. This implies the fibers have not undergone the combing process, which aims to remove shorter fibers and align the longer ones for a smoother, finer texture.

This specific classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 5408.34.05.20, by the treatment of the wool or fine animal hair component. While both categories fall under printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, with a high percentage of wool or fine animal hair, the key difference lies in whether these animal fibers have been combed. Therefore, the presence or absence of the combing process on the wool or fine animal hair is the decisive factor for classification at this level.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is specific to printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, primarily or solely containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, where the wool or fine animal hair component has not been subjected to the combing process. This level of detail ensures precise identification of goods for customs purposes.
