5111.30.90.00 - Other (410)

This HTS category, 5111.30.90.00, covers woven fabrics of carded wool or carded fine animal hair that are mixed mainly or solely with man-made staple fibers, and which do not fall under the specific classifications for tapestry and upholstery fabrics. The defining characteristic of this "Other" classification is the absence of the weight and fabric type restrictions found in its sibling categories. Therefore, it encompasses a broad range of woven fabrics where wool or fine animal hair forms the predominant component, and which are blended with man-made staple fibers.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories, 5111.30.05.00 and 5111.30.10.00, by its exclusion of tapestry and upholstery fabrics. While those categories are defined by their specific end-use and weight parameters (exceeding 300 g/m2 or not exceeding 140 g/m2), this category serves as a residual classification for all other woven fabrics meeting the primary material and fiber blend criteria. Essentially, if a fabric is woven from carded wool or fine animal hair blended with man-made staple fibers, and it is not specifically identified as tapestry or upholstery fabric within defined weight ranges, it will likely be classified here.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification into this category is determined by the exclusion from more specific sibling categories and adherence to the general requirements of woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair mixed mainly or solely with man-made staple fibers. Practical considerations for classification will involve verifying the material composition and carded nature of the wool or hair component, as well as the presence of man-made staple fibers, and confirming the fabric is not intended for or designed as tapestry or upholstery.
