The hair of alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel (including dromedary), yak, Angora, Kashmir (cashmere) or similar goats or Angora rabbit is usually spun into yarn, like wool; it is also used for making wigs and for the production of dolls' hair.

Coarse animal hair covered by this heading also includes hair from the flanks of bovine animals or horses, and of common goats, dogs, monkeys or otters.

Animal hair obtained by gathering during moulting, by shearing and by pulling from skins, etc., falls in this heading only if it has not been carded or combed, but its classification in this heading is not affected by washing, bleaching, dyeing or artificial curling (the latter operation being mainly used for coarse animal hair intended for stuffing).
