Heading 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-6 511190 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from carded wool or fine animal hair that contain less than 85% wool by weight. For example, a shipment of blended wool and synthetic fabric for apparel would fall under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers fabrics mixed mainly with other fibers not classified elsewhere in heading 5111. In contrast, HS-6 511191 applies to woven fabrics with a higher wool content, which can significantly affect classification and duty rates.
If you are dealing with woven fabrics that combine carded wool with materials like polyester or cotton, HS-6 511190 is the correct choice. This line highlights the importance of fiber composition in determining the appropriate HS code.
Be cautious when classifying products, as similar fabrics may fall under different HS codes based on their fiber content. For instance, fabrics with 85% or more wool would be classified under HS-6 511191.
