Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbonized
Carbonized wool (vegetable matter removed via acid process) while still greasy uses a distinct subheading with different clean yield definition.
If actually silk, misidentified
Silk noils in greasy state fall under Chapter 50; accurate fiber identification via microscopy prevents misclassification from wool.
If yarn spun from this wool
Once carded, combed, and spun into yarn, it shifts to heading 5109 for wool yarn not put up for retail sale.
