5806.10.30.20 - Of wool or fine animal hair (414) 🖩

This HTS category, 5806.10.30.20, specifically classifies narrow woven fabrics that are either woven pile fabrics or chenille fabrics, and are composed of 85 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This means the primary constituent material of these specialized fabrics must be wool or animal fibers such as cashmere, mohair, or alpaca. The "narrow woven fabric" designation indicates these materials are produced in a limited width, typically less than 30 centimeters, and are distinct from broader textiles. Examples include narrow velvet, corduroy, or terry cloth made predominantly from wool.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5806.10.30.10, by its material composition. While both fall under the umbrella of woven pile or chenille narrow fabrics, 5806.10.30.10 covers those predominantly made of silk or silk waste. Conversely, 5806.10.30.90 encompasses other narrow woven pile or chenille fabrics not meeting the specific wool/fine animal hair or silk criteria, which would include those made from cotton, synthetic fibers, or blends where wool or silk is not the predominant component by weight.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the specific combination of narrow width, woven pile or chenille construction, and the primary material being wool or fine animal hair.
