Overview
This HTS classification covers specific yarns derived from the carded hair of Kashmir (cashmere) goats. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is the yarn count, which must be 19.35 metric or higher. These yarns are intended for use in various textile applications where the softness, fineness, and insulating properties of cashmere are desired. The "provided for in subheading 5108.10.80" note indicates that while these yarns are specially classified under Chapter 99 for temporary purposes, their base classification would typically fall under Chapter 51, which deals with wool and animal hair.
As a leaf node, this HTS category does not have further subdivisions. Its specificity lies in the combination of the raw material (carded Kashmir goat hair) and a precise technical specification (yarn count of 19.35 metric or higher). This distinguishes it from broader classifications of animal hair yarns or yarns with different technical specifications that might be covered under other HTS subheadings within Chapter 51 or other chapters. The placement within Chapter 99 signifies that this classification is subject to temporary legislation or modifications, often related to trade agreements or specific import restrictions, rather than being a permanent structural part of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
