5111.20 - Other, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments:

This category, HTS Code 5111.20, encompasses woven fabrics that are primarily composed of carded wool or carded fine animal hair, and which are further characterized by being mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. The presence of these filaments, as opposed to staple fibers, is a key distinguishing factor within this group. This means fabrics where the non-wool or non-fine animal hair component is in the form of continuous man-made threads, rather than short chopped fibers.

It is crucial to differentiate 5111.20 from its sibling categories. Unlike fabrics containing 85% or more wool or fine animal hair (which would fall under a different sibling), these fabrics have a significant admixture of man-made filaments. Furthermore, they are distinct from fabrics mixed with man-made staple fibers (5111.30), where the non-wool/hair component consists of shorter, discontinuous fibers. This category also excludes "Other" woven fabrics of carded wool or hair not meeting the specific filament criteria.

Within HTS 5111.20, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the specific type and weight of the fabric. The subcategories 5111.20.05.00 and 5111.20.10.00 specifically address tapestry and upholstery fabrics, distinguishing them by weight thresholds (exceeding 300 g/m² and not exceeding 140 g/m², respectively). The residual category, 5111.20.90.00, captures all other woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments that do not fit into the specialized tapestry or upholstery fabric classifications.
