6006.10.00.00 - Of wool or fine animal hair (414) 🖩

This HTS category, 6006.10.00.00, specifically encompasses knitted or crocheted fabrics that are primarily composed of wool or fine animal hair. "Fine animal hair" refers to fibers such as cashmere, mohair, angora, alpaca, llama, vicuña, and camel hair. The classification is determined by the dominant fiber content by weight. These fabrics are typically used in the manufacture of apparel, home furnishings, and other textile articles where the inherent qualities of wool or fine animal hair, such as warmth, softness, and drape, are desired.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Fabrics classified under "Of cotton" or "Of synthetic fibers" or "Of artificial fibers" would be based on the predominance of those respective materials, not wool or fine animal hair. The "Other" category (6006.90) serves as a residual classification for knitted or crocheted fabrics not otherwise specified, meaning this "Of wool or fine animal hair" category takes precedence if the material criteria are met.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary focus for correct classification within 6006.10.00.00 rests on verifying the material content of the knitted or crocheted fabric. Importers and exporters should be prepared to provide documentation or testing results that substantiate the presence of wool or fine animal hair as the predominant fiber by weight to ensure accurate customs declarations.
