GENERAL The General Explanatory Note to Section XI should be taken into account in reading the Explanatory Notes to this Chapter. In general, this Chapter covers wool and fine or coarse animal hair, including mixed textile materials classified as wool or animaI hair, at the various stages from the raw materials to their transformation into woven fabrics. It also includes yams and fabrics of horsehair, but excludes horsehair and horsehair waste of heading 05.11. As stated in Note 4 to Chapter 5, the expression " horsehair " means hair of the manes or tails of equine or bovine animals. - 51.01 Wool, not carded or combed. - Greasy, including fleece-washed wool : 5101.11 - - Shornwool 5101.19 - - Other - Degreased, not carbonised : 5101.29 - - Other 5 101.30 - Carbonised The are elastic, narEed felting that of burnt horn. fibre grown by sheep or lambs. Wool and have a characteristic scaly surface. from the air) and, as a rule, have but chars giving off an odour akin to This heading covers sheep's or lambs' wool, not carded or combed, whether obtained by shearing the animal or the pelt of the dead animal (shorn wool), or by pullin from the pelt after fermentation or appropriate chemical treatment (e.g., pulled wool, slipe woo or skin wool). f Uncarded and uncombed wool is generally in the form of : (A) Greasy, including fleece-washed wool. Greasy wool is wool not yet washed or otherwise cleaned; it is therefore still impregnated with wool grease and fatty matter derived fiom the animal itself and may contain an a preciable quantity of impurities (burrs, seeds, earth, etc.). Greasy shorn wool is often in tl?e form of '' fleeces " hawng more or less the contours of the pelt. Greasy pulled wool is removed from sheep or lamb skins by a fermentation (" sweating ") process in which the fibres and the skin are subjected to the combined action of heat and moisture. It may also be removed by a depilatory method in which the flesh side of the skins is treated with a sodium sulphide or lme solution. Such wool is recognizable by the presence of hair roots. Fleece-washed wool is wool washed in cold water while still on the animal or before being pulled from the pelt. It is incompletely cleaned. Greasy wool is normally yellowish. Some, however, is grey, black, brown or russet in colour. (B) Degreased wool, not carbonised. This category includes : (1) Hot-washed wool - washed with hot water only and relieved of the majority of wool grease and earthy matter. (2) Scoured wool - wool from which the grease has been removed almost entirely by washing with hot water and soap or other detergents or with alkaline solutions. (3) Wool treated with volatile solvents (such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride) to remove grease. (4) Frosted wool - this has been subjected to a sufficiently low temperature to freeze the ease. The grease is then in a very brittle state and is easily broken u and removed as %st together with a large part of the natural impurities which are he d in the wool by the grease. P Most washed and degreased wools still contain small amounts of grease and vegetable matter (burrs, seeds, etc.); this vegetable matter is removed mechanically at a later stage (see the Explanatory Note to heading 5 1.05) or by carbonisation. (C) Carbonised wool. Carbonising eliminates any ve etable matter still contained in the wools referred to at (B above. The wool is immerse in a bath, usual1 of mineral acids or acid salts, whc destroys the vegetable matter but does not affect t ze wool fibres. % Bleaching, dyeing or other rocesses applied prior to carding or combing do not affect the classification of wool in this eading. R This heading excludes : (a) Raw hides and skins, whether or not split, including sheepskins in the wool (heading 41.02 or 43.01). (b) Wool wastes of heading 51.03 or garnetted stock of wool of heading 51.04. (c) Combed wool in fi-agments(heading 51.05). 51.02 - Fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed (+). - Fine animal hair : 5 102.11 - - Of Kashmir (cashmere) goats 5102.19 - - Other 5 102.20 - Coarse animal hair " fine animal hair " means hair of al aca, Tibetan, Kq mir beaver, nutna or R Fine animal hair is generally softer and less curled than wool. The hair of the alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel (including drome 1, yak, Angora, Kashmir (cashmere) or similar goats or Angora rabblt is generally spun i e wool into yarns; it is also used for wig-making and for the manufacture of dolls' hair. Other fine animal hair (i.e,, of the hare, common rabbit, beaver, nutria or musk-rat) is usually unsuitable for splnning and is used for the manufacture of felts, padding, stuffing,etc. y k (2) Throughout the Nomenclature the expression " coarse animal hair " means all other animal hair not mentioned in (1) above, except wool (heading 51.01), hair of the manes or tails of equine or bovine animals classified as " horsehair " heading 05.11), pigs', ho s' or boars' bristles or hair and ba ger hair or other brush-making hair (head~ng05.027 (see Chapter Note 1 (c)). d Coarse animal hair classified here includes that from the flanks of bovine or equine animals and that of common goats, dogs, monkeys or otters. Coarse animal hair is generally used in the manufacture of coarse yarns or woven fabrics, felts or carpets, or for padding or stuffing purposes. Animal hairs are obtained by gathering during the moult, by shearing, by stripping from pelts, etc., and are included here only when not carded or combed, but classification here is not affected by their having been washed, bleached, dyed or artificially curled (this last operation is applied mainly to coarse animal hairs for stuffing).
