Heading 5112 — Woven fabrics of combed wool or of combed fine animal hair
Chapter 51: Wool, fine or coarse animal hair
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 511230 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from combed wool or fine animal hair that contain less than 85% wool or animal hair, primarily mixed with synthetic fibers. For example, a shipment of wool-blend fabric used in fashion apparel would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to fabrics that are woven and contain a significant amount of man-made fibers, distinguishing them from HS-6 511231, which covers similar fabrics with a higher wool content. If your fabric is predominantly wool, you should consider that alternative classification.
Woven fabrics classified under HS-6 511230 are often used in clothing, upholstery, and other textile applications where a blend of natural and synthetic fibers is desired for durability and cost-effectiveness. Examples include wool-polyester blends used in suits or coats.
When determining the correct classification, ensure that the fabric's composition is accurately assessed. If it contains 85% or more wool or fine animal hair, it may require a different HS code, such as HS-6 511231.
