5111 — Woven fabrics of carded wool or of carded fine animal hair
Chapter 51: Wool, fine or coarse animal hair
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5111 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from carded wool or fine animal hair. For example, if you're shipping a batch of woolen suiting fabric weighing 250g/m2 and containing 90% wool, this code applies.
To choose the correct HS-6 line, consider the weight of your fabric. If your fabric weighs 300g/m2 or less and contains 85% or more wool or fine animal hair, use HS-6 511111. If it exceeds 300g/m2, opt for HS-6 511119.
If your fabric contains less than 85% wool or fine animal hair, you’ll need to determine the composition. For fabrics mixed mainly with man-made filaments, select HS-6 511120. For those mixed with man-made staple fibres, use HS-6 511130.
