Cheviot Carded Wool Noils from Mexico
Cheviot carded wool noils are short fiber byproducts from the carding process of Scottish Cheviot wool, used in felting or blending for rugged yarns. Under HTS 5105.10.00.00, these qualify as carded wool since noils result directly from carding without combing.

Import Tips
• Document noil origin from carding to avoid confusion with combed wool fragments in 5105.21
• Ensure ash and vegetable matter tests meet clean yield criteria; excess leads to higher assessed values
• Bond requirements apply if claiming special uses; monitor end-use compliance
