5111.20.05.00 - Tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight exceeding 300 g/m2 (414)

This HTS classification covers tapestry and upholstery fabrics specifically made from carded wool or carded fine animal hair. A defining characteristic of these fabrics is their substantial weight, exceeding 300 grams per square meter. This weight criterion signifies a heavier, more robust fabric construction, suitable for demanding applications such as durable upholstery for furniture or decorative tapestry work.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings based on fabric weight. The sibling HTS code 5111.20.10.00 covers similar tapestry and upholstery fabrics, but these have a weight not exceeding 140 grams per square meter, indicating a lighter construction. The sibling category 5111.20.90.00, labeled "Other," would encompass tapestry and upholstery fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair that do not fit the specific weight criteria defined for 5111.20.05.00 or 5111.20.10.00.

As this HTS classification is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 5111.20.05.00 is determined by the material composition (carded wool or fine animal hair), the fabric type (tapestry or upholstery), and the specific weight threshold of exceeding 300 g/m². Correctly applying these criteria ensures accurate customs declaration and compliance for these particular woven fabrics.
