44s Australian Merino Wool Greasewool from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
