Combed Alpaca Wool Fragments from Mexico
Combed alpaca wool fragments are short, aligned fibers of fine animal hair from alpacas, produced as a byproduct during top-making. They are cleaned and combed, making them suitable for blending into specialty yarns or nonwoven textiles. Under the Customs Tariff, alpaca hair qualifies as fine animal hair, and these fragments fall under the tariff item for combed wool in fragments.
