Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from coarse animal hair (e.g., common goat)
Chapter note (c) separates coarse hair from fine; alpaca is fine hair under 5105.21.
If converted to yarn before import
Yarn production moves it out of raw fiber Chapter 51 to Chapter 55 man-made, but pure wool yarn stays in 51.
If for carded fine animal hair fragments
Carding only (no combing) keeps it in heading 5101; combing upgrades to 5105.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify 'fine animal hair' in entry docs; alpaca qualifies but verify against chapter note (b) definitions
• Bond may be required if resembling 'wool for special uses' under US note (d); confirm end-use
