About heading 5106
Yarn of carded wool, not put up for retail sale
Heading 5106 covers yarn spun from carded wool that is not put up for retail sale, meaning it moves in mill packages such as cones, skeins or beams for industrial or trade buyers rather than consumer-sized put-ups. The heading splits first by wool content: lines under 5106.10 cover yarn with 85% or more by weight of wool, and 5106.20 covers yarn with less than 85% wool. Within the 85% group, the break is the average fiber diameter, with coarser yarn at 34.40 microns or more separated from the rest.
