5802.30.00.20 - Of wool or fine animal hair (414)

This classification covers tufted textile fabrics specifically made from wool or fine animal hair. Tufted fabrics are characterized by loops of yarn projecting from a base fabric, creating a textured surface. This distinction is crucial, as the material composition dictates its placement within the broader category of tufted textile fabrics.

Unlike sibling categories, this node is exclusively for those tufted fabrics where wool or fine animal hair constitutes the primary fiber content. For example, it excludes tufted fabrics primarily composed of silk or cotton/man-made fibers, which are classified under separate HTS codes. The classification hinges on the dominant fiber type by weight, differentiating it from the "silk or silk waste" and "cotton; of man-made fibers" categories at the same level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, understanding the specific characteristics of wool and fine animal hair, such as cashmere, mohair, alpaca, or vicuña, is essential for accurate classification. If a tufted fabric contains a blend where wool or fine animal hair is the principal component, it will fall under this designation.
