5515.22.05.10 - Not combed (410)

This HTS classification covers woven fabrics manufactured from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers that are not combed. These fabrics are specifically characterized by containing a significant proportion of wool or fine animal hair, with the weight of wool or fine animal hair constituting 36 percent or more of the total composition. The "not combed" designation refers to the state of the staple fibers prior to weaving, indicating that they have undergone processing steps such as carding but have not been subjected to the additional combing process, which aligns with the general description provided.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 5515.22.05.20, which covers identical fabrics but where the acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers have been combed. The combing process results in a more uniform fiber length and alignment, potentially affecting the feel, appearance, and performance of the finished fabric. Therefore, the key differentiator for this classification lies in the specific treatment of the staple fibers used in their construction.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is precise at this level, focusing on the combination of fiber type (acrylic/modacrylic staple), weave construction, the presence and proportion of wool or fine animal hair (36% or more), and the specific processing state of the acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers (not combed). Importers and exporters should carefully verify the fiber content and the processing of the staple fibers to ensure accurate classification.
