About HS Code 511000
This HS code covers yarn made from coarse animal hair or horsehair, including gimped horsehair yarn, regardless of whether it's put up for retail sale or not. Coarse animal hair refers to fibers from animals like certain breeds of goats, camels, or yaks, which are thicker and less refined than fine animal hair. These yarns are typically known for their strength, durability, and stiffness, making them suitable for specialized industrial applications rather than soft apparel. Common uses include upholstery, brushes, interlinings, and traditional textiles. Importers and exporters often include specialized textile manufacturers, brush makers, and suppliers to the furniture industry. Key aspects of trade involve the specific properties of the coarse hair, its origin, and its suitability for niche industrial or artisanal applications requiring robust materials.
