Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If finer than 58s (e.g., 60s or higher)
Fineness determines sub-subheading; finer wools have separate provisions.
If actually cotton fibers misidentified as wool
Material composition dictates chapter; cotton is Chapter 52, not animal hair/wool.
If partially carded before full combing
Carded wool (not combed to top) falls under yarn waste headings if processed further.
