5111.11.20.00 - Tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight not exceeding 140 g/m2 (414)

This HTS category, 5111.11.20.00, specifically classifies tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics composed of carded wool or carded fine animal hair. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is a weight not exceeding 140 grams per square meter. These fabrics are primarily intended for decorative and functional use in furnishings, such as wall hangings, decorative coverings, and upholstery for furniture.

At this hierarchical level, the key distinction lies in the weight criterion. While the parent category covers woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair containing 85% or more wool or fine animal hair and not exceeding 300 g/m², this specific node narrows the scope to fabrics weighing *no more than 140 g/m²*. This lighter weight often signifies different construction techniques or suitability for less durable applications compared to heavier upholstery fabrics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 5111.11.20.00 is therefore final based on the material composition (carded wool or fine animal hair, at least 85% by weight), fabric type (tapestry or upholstery), and the critical weight limitation of not exceeding 140 g/m².
