HS code for Mohair (raw): 5102.19
Hair, fine animal hair, not carded or combed, other than of kashmir (cashmere) goats.
Classification of mohair (raw) under HS 5102.19
Raw mohair is classified under HS code 5102.19, which pertains to fine animal hair that has not been carded or combed. Mohair is the hair of the Angora goat. The Harmonized System distinguishes between sheep's wool (5101) and fine animal hair (5102). Within 5102, a distinction is made between Kashmir (cashmere) goats and other fine animal hair. Since mohair is distinct from cashmere, it falls into the "other" category of fine animal hair. This code applies to the fiber in its greasy state, washed, or even bleached, provided the mechanical process of carding or combing has not yet occurred. The classification is based on the biological origin of the fiber and its lack of advanced processing for spinning.

Codes often confused with 5102.19
Common mistake. Raw mohair is often confused with HS code 5102.11, which is reserved exclusively for cashmere (Kashmir goat hair). While both are fine animal hairs, they are biologically different. Another common error is using HS code 5105.39, which covers fine animal hair that has been carded or combed. Once the mohair undergoes mechanical alignment for spinning, it moves from 5102 to 5105.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
