Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If exclusively for certified special uses with bond
Special use wool (coarse for felts/boots) has a prior subheading with potential duty relief.
If actually cotton but misidentified as wool
Material composition error shifts to Chapter 52; fiber ID tests prevent this.
If yarn-spun for knitting
Once spun into yarn, even coarse, it enters heading 5106 for woollen yarns.
