5111.19 - Other:

This category, HTS 5111.19, encompasses woven fabrics of carded wool or carded fine animal hair that contain 85 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Unlike its sibling category, 5111.11, which specifically addresses fabrics not exceeding 300 g/m², this classification serves as a residual category for such fabrics that do not meet that specific weight criteria. The fabrics falling under 5111.19 are generally characterized by their construction from carded wool or fine animal hair, implying a less finely spun yarn than that used in worsted fabrics, resulting in a softer, loftier feel.

The distinction from the sibling category 5111.11 is purely based on the weight per square meter. Fabrics weighing over 300 g/m², but still meeting the material composition requirement of 85% or more wool or fine animal hair, would be classified here. This category acts as a catch-all for eligible woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair that do not fit into the more narrowly defined weight-based sibling.

Within this residual category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. The primary subcategory, 5111.19.10.00, specifically identifies tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics. This indicates a further refinement based on the intended end-use and specific weaving techniques associated with these types of decorative and functional textiles.
