5111.19.60.60 - Weighing not more than 400 g/m2 (410)

This classification, HTS Code 5111.19.60.60, pertains to woven fabrics primarily composed of carded wool or carded fine animal hair. Specifically, it covers those fabrics weighing not more than 400 grams per square meter. These fabrics are characterized by their construction using carded fibers, which results in a generally less lustrous and softer feel compared to worsted fabrics. The material composition requires that 85 percent or more by weight of the fabric consists of wool or fine animal hair, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 51.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5111.19.60.80, by a critical weight threshold. While both classifications deal with woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair containing 85% or more wool/fine animal hair and falling under "other" subcategories at several levels, the defining difference lies in their weight per square meter. 5111.19.60.60 applies exclusively to fabrics weighing **not more than** 400 g/m², whereas the sibling category is for fabrics weighing **more than** 400 g/m². This weight distinction is a primary physical characteristic used for precise classification.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this specific code is definitive once the criteria of material composition (85% or more wool/fine animal hair), fiber preparation (carded), fabric construction (woven), and weight (not more than 400 g/m²) are met. Examples of goods that might fall here include lightweight blankets, certain apparel linings, and decorative upholstery fabrics made from carded wool or fine animal hair meeting the specified weight.
