5111.11 - Of a weight not exceeding 300 g/m2:

This category encompasses woven fabrics composed of 85% or more wool or fine animal hair, where the fabric is constructed from carded yarns and has a weight not exceeding 300 grams per square meter. This weight limitation is a critical factor for classification within this specific subdivision. These fabrics are typically characterized by a softer handle and a slightly less smooth surface compared to fabrics made from combed yarns.

The key distinction of this subcategory lies in its weight criterion. It directly contrasts with its sibling, 5111.19, which covers all other woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair meeting the 85% material threshold but exceeding 300 g/m2. Therefore, the precise weight of the fabric is paramount in directing classification to either this node or its sibling.

Further subdivision occurs based on the specific construction and intended use of these lighter-weight fabrics. The subcategory 5111.11.20.00 specifically identifies tapestry and upholstery fabrics that weigh no more than 140 g/m2. This demonstrates a further refinement within the category to account for fabrics with specialized weaves and applications that also meet the overall weight restriction. The remaining "Other" subcategory would then capture any fabrics not meeting the specific criteria of tapestry or upholstery.
