Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other fine hair processed beyond degreased
Other fine hairs beyond degreased go to 5102.29.40, but camel specifically stays separate.
If cotton fibers mistaken for camel hair
Vegetable fibers like cotton are Chapter 52; misidentification leads to wrong chapter.
If used in hand-hooked carpets
Carpets of animal hair are classified in Chapter 57 by end product, not raw material.
