5111.20.10.00 - Tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight not exceeding 140 g/m2 (414)

This HTS classification, 5111.20.10.00, specifically designates tapestry and upholstery fabrics woven from carded wool or carded fine animal hair. A key defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is a weight **not exceeding 140 grams per square meter**. These fabrics are often distinguished by their decorative qualities, suitable for applications like wall hangings or furniture coverings, and possess a lighter construction due to their weight constraint.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, 5111.20.05.00. The primary distinction lies in the weight of the fabric: 5111.20.10.00 covers fabrics weighing **up to 140 g/m2**, whereas 5111.20.05.00 is for similar fabrics that weigh **exceeding 300 g/m2**. The category 5111.20.90.00, "Other," encompasses tapestry and upholstery fabrics that do not fit the specific weight criteria of these two more defined subheadings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification within 5111.20.10.00 is definitive based on the material (carded wool or carded fine animal hair), the intended use (tapestry or upholstery fabric), and the precise weight criterion of not exceeding 140 g/m2. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate weight measurements are available to confirm correct classification.
