5601.29.00.20 - Of wool or fine animal hair (469)

This HTS category, 5601.29.00.20, specifically classifies wadding of textile materials where the primary component, by weight, is wool or fine animal hair. This includes materials like polyester fiberfill that are predominantly made from these natural animal fibers, intended for use as padding, stuffing, or for similar cushioning and filling purposes. The key defining characteristic is the substantial presence of wool or fine animal hair, such as cashmere, mohair, or alpaca.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5601.29.00.10, by the absence of silk or silk waste as the primary component. While both are subsets of "other" wadding not specified by fiber type, the material composition is the critical differentiating factor. Goods falling under 5601.29.00.10 are exclusively silk-based, whereas this category focuses on wool and fine animal hair content.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions within this specific code will therefore rely on confirming that the wadding meets the material composition criteria (predominantly wool or fine animal hair) and is not primarily silk-based, adhering to the broader definitions established in Chapter 56 for wadding and padding materials.
