HS Code 5106Yarn of carded wool, not put up for retail sale
2 six-digit codes · Heading 6 of 13 in Chapter 51 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 5106 is where customs places carded wool yarn sold in bulk, not in small packs for shoppers. Use this page to pick the right sub-code and to find out who trades it.
Heading 5106 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Yarn of carded wool, not put up for retail sale” classify either at 510610 or at 510620, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 6 of 13 in Chapter 51, Wool, fine or coarse animal hair; horsehair yarn and woven fabric, which runs to 38 six-digit codes in all.
HS code 5106 sub-codes: 510610 and 510620
Some price lists and tax tools call this number HSN code 5106. It is the same heading. Under it there are only two sub-codes, and one question separates them: how much of the yarn is wool?
Wool share is measured by weight. Code 510610 is pure carded wool yarn, or very close to it.
- 510610: pure or near-pure carded wool yarn
- 510620: blended carded wool yarn
How to choose between 510610 and 510620
Start with the fibre content of the yarn. Ask the mill or supplier for the share of each fibre. Then take the wool share and compare it with 85. Only weight counts here. Length, colour, thickness and price do not change the code.
If the wool share is 85 or higher, use 510610. If it is lower, use 510620. A yarn at exactly 85 goes to 510610, because that code says "85 or more".
Many mistakes start with a shortcut. Someone sees the word "blend" on a label and picks 510620 without doing the sum. Another person files carded wool yarn under the wrong heading because the yarn is really combed, or is made of fine animal hair. If you are unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier before you file.
