44s Australian Merino Wool Greasewool
Degreased Australian Merino wool with a fineness of 42 microns, graded between 40s and 44s, not carded, combed, or carbonized. It remains in its raw, scoured state beyond degreasing, ideal for high-quality yarn spinning. Classified under HTS 5101.29.30.00 due to its specific micron count fitting 'finer than 40s but not finer than 44s' and lack of further processing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbonized during processing
Carbonized wool, even at 40s-44s fineness, falls under 5101.11 as it undergoes chemical treatment beyond degreasing.
If coarser, not finer than 40s
Wool coarser than 40s but not exceeding 46s is classified in 5101.29.20, based on spin count grading.
If carded or combed post-degreasing
Any carding or combing moves it to Chapter 51 heading 5105 for wool tops or partially processed fibers.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain laboratory certification of clean yield and fiber fineness (40s-44s) prior to entry to avoid reclassification
• File bonds if intending special uses, but note this grade exceeds 46s fineness limit for those provisions
• Verify degreasing process documentation; excessive carbonization shifts to 5101.21 subheading
