5101.30.70.00/Carbonized Merino Wool Fibers/Japan

Carbonized Merino Wool Fibers from Japan

Carbonized Merino wool fibers are processed through carbonization to remove vegetable matter, resulting in clean wool ready for further textile processing. This product falls under HTS 5101.30.70.00 as 'other' carbonized wool neither carded nor combed, distinct from specialty wools. The carbonization process aligns with chapter definitions where clean yield is measured in the entered condition for such fibers.

Import Tips

• Provide laboratory certification of carbonization process and clean yield as entered, per US note (c), to avoid reclassification

• Declare exact clean yield percentage on entry documents; discrepancies can trigger audits or duty adjustments

• Avoid common pitfall of entering partially cleaned wool—must be fully carbonized to qualify under this subheading
