Carbonized Merino Wool 46s Grade
This is carbonized Merino wool with a fineness between 44s and 46s, processed only through carbonization to remove vegetable matter, leaving it uncarded and uncombed. It falls under HTS 5101.30.30.00 as 'other wool' in this specific fineness range, measured by clean yield standards for wool free of foreign materials. Ideal for blending in high-quality woolen yarns or felts.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If coarser than 46s
Wool coarser than 46s, even if carbonized, classifies under the broader coarse wool subheading in 5101.10.
If finer than 44s
Finer wools in the carbonized, unprocessed state fall under 5101.30.10 for the narrower fineness range.
If carded or combed post-carbonization
Any carding or combing moves it to Chapter 51 wool yarns or tops, changing from raw fiber to semi-processed.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide laboratory certification of clean yield and fineness (44s-46s) to verify classification, as duties are based on clean kg
• Ensure documentation proves no further processing beyond carbonization, avoiding reclassification to combed wool headings
• File bonds if intending use as 'wool for special uses' to potentially lower duties, but monitor end-use compliance
