Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide a detailed product description and fibre content for CBSA clearance
• If the yarn is gimped or twisted with other materials, verify it still qualifies as coarse animal hair yarn

Yarn spun from the coarse tail hair of cattle, traditionally used in rug making, upholstery, and craft applications. Cow tail hair is not listed among fine animal hairs in Chapter 51, so it qualifies as coarse animal hair and is covered by this tariff item.
Horsehair Gimped Yarn
Gimped yarn made by twisting horsehair around a core thread, used in hat making, decorative braids, and millinery. This tariff item explicitly includes gimped horsehair yarn, whether or not put up for retail sale, making it directly classifiable here.
Retail Horsehair Weaving Yarn
Horsehair yarn packaged in retail skeins for home weaving and craft projects. The tariff item explicitly covers horsehair yarn 'whether or not put up for retail sale', so retail packaging does not change classification.

Spun yarn from the coarse outer hair of yaks, used in durable carpets, felts, and heavy textiles. Yak coarse hair is classified as coarse animal hair under Chapter 51, while the fine undercoat is treated separately, so this yarn belongs under this item.
