This heading covers yarns, whether single or multiple (folded), obtained by spinning the rovings of carded or combed fine animal hair (see Explanatory Note to heading 51.02 for an explanation of what is meant by fine animal hair).
They are excluded if put up for retail sale (see provisions of Part (¥°) (B) (3) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI). The yarns of this heading are used mainly in the manufacture of knitted goods or woven fabrics for certain light clothing (e.g., alpaca), and for overcoats or blankets (e.g., camel (including dromedary) hair), for velvets or for imitation fur. These yarns may have undergone the processes mentioned in Part (¥°) (B) (1) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI.
