Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

If not combed (carded only)
Uncombed wool yarn is classified in Chapter 51 heading 5105, as combing distinguishes finer yarn production.
If woven into fabric containing ≥85% wool
Once processed into woven fabric rather than remaining as yarn, it moves to heading 5112 for wool fabrics.
