How do I know if my fabric qualifies for this HS code?

Check the fiber content of your fabric. If it contains less than 85% wool or fine animal hair and is mainly mixed with man-made filaments, it likely qualifies for HS-6 511120.

Can I use HS-511120 for clothing fabrics?

Yes, HS-511120 can be used for clothing fabrics as long as they meet the fiber content requirements, such as a wool blend suit fabric with a high percentage of synthetic fibers.

Are there specific import regulations for HS-6 511120?

Yes, you need to ensure that your fabric's composition is accurately declared and that it complies with any relevant textile import regulations in your country.

What should I include in my customs declaration for these fabrics?

Include the fiber content, intended use, and any relevant product specifications to ensure accurate classification and compliance with customs regulations.

Can I export wool blend fabrics under HS-511120?

Yes, as long as your wool blend fabrics meet the classification criteria, you can export them under HS-6 511120.

How do I determine the wool content in my fabric?

You can determine wool content through lab testing or by reviewing the manufacturer's specifications, which should detail the fiber composition.

HS-6 511120: Fabrics, woven; of carded wool or carded fine animal hair, containing less than 85% by weight of wool or fine animal hair, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 511120 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from carded wool or fine animal hair that contain less than 85% wool by weight, primarily mixed with synthetic fibers. An example would be a shipment of wool-blend upholstery fabric with a high polyester content.

This classification is distinct from HS-6 511130, which covers similar fabrics but contains 85% or more wool or fine animal hair. If your fabric composition leans heavily on natural fibers, you would use that code instead.

The fabrics under this code are often used in clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications. They might include items like blended wool suits or decorative cushions that combine wool with nylon or acrylic for durability.

When determining the correct classification, consider the fiber content and the intended use of the fabric. If your product is primarily synthetic with only a small percentage of wool, HS-6 511120 is likely the right choice.
