1 six-digit code · Heading 10 of 13 in Chapter 51 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
This page explains what fits, what does not, and where to look for trade records.
Heading 5110does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Yarn of coarse animal hair or of horsehair (including gimped horsehair yarn), whether or not put up for retail sale” classify at the single six-digit code 511000. The heading is number 10 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.

What HS code 5110 covers
Inside that section, Chapter 51 is the home of wool, fine or coarse animal hair, and horsehair yarn and woven fabric.
If your product is gimped horsehair yarn, this is the right heading. You will sometimes see traders write HSN code 5110. It points to the same heading in the Harmonized System.
The words "put up for retail sale" do not split the heading. The text says the yarn counts "whether or not" it is packed for retail. A small retail pack and a large bulk cone are both classed here. That is a key difference from the wool yarn headings, where retail packing decides the heading.
HS code 511000 and national tariff lines
Under this heading there is one code: 511000. It carries the same wording as the heading itself. So at the world level you never have to choose between several codes. If the yarn fits the heading, it fits 511000.
Many countries add more digits to the end of the six-digit code. These longer codes are national tariff lines. They are set by each country, not by the World Customs Organization. If you ship to or from a market that uses longer codes, check the exact line for your goods before you file. The HS code classifier on EximDataX can help you check a product description against the system.
How 5110 differs from other Chapter 51 yarns and fabrics
Most classification mistakes in this chapter come from mixing up the raw material, the stage of work, or the form of the product. Ask three simple questions.
The first question is what the yarn is made of. The second question is whether it is yarn at all. Hair that is not yet spun belongs to a different heading. The third question is whether it has been woven into cloth.
