5111.90 - Other:

This category, HTS 5111.90, encompasses woven fabrics that are derived from wool or fine animal hair which has undergone a carding process. It specifically addresses those fabrics not categorized by the preceding sibling subheadings. This means the fabrics classified here are characterized by the absence of specific primary blending materials that define the other categories at this level.

Crucially, this subheading distinguishes itself from its siblings by encompassing fabrics where the wool or fine animal hair content, after carding, does not fall under the "85 percent or more by weight" criteria of the first sibling, nor is it primarily blended with man-made filaments (5111.20) or man-made staple fibers (5111.30). Therefore, 5111.90 serves as a residual category for carded wool and fine animal hair woven fabrics with differing material compositions.

The subcategories within HTS 5111.90 provide further refinement based on specific blending and value thresholds. The first child category, 5111.90.30.00, focuses on fabrics containing a significant amount of silk or silk waste (30 percent or more by weight) and further distinguishes these based on their value exceeding $33 per kilogram. Following this specific silk blend, the residual "Other" subcategory captures all remaining woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair that do not meet the criteria of the silk-blended classification.
