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 511290 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from combed wool or fine animal hair, where the wool content is less than 85%. For example, a shipment of a wool-blend fabric containing 60% wool and 40% cotton would fall under this code.
This code is specifically for fabrics that mix combed wool or fine animal hair with other fibers not specified in heading 5112. In contrast, HS-6 511210 covers woven fabrics of combed wool or fine animal hair that contain 85% or more of these fibers.
Fabrics classified under 511290 often include blends with cotton, polyester, or other synthetic fibers. This might include items like wool-cotton blend upholstery fabric or wool-polyester blend suiting material.
When determining the correct classification, consider the fiber composition carefully. If your fabric is primarily wool but contains a significant percentage of other fibers, this is the appropriate code.
