5111.90.40.00 - Tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight exceeding 300 g/m2 (414) 🖩

This HTS category, 5111.90.40.00, specifically classifies tapestry and upholstery fabrics made from carded wool or carded fine animal hair that have a weight exceeding 300 grams per square meter (g/m2). These fabrics are characterized by their substantial weight, which typically indicates a denser weave or thicker yarn, making them suitable for durable applications such as heavy-duty upholstery for furniture or intricate tapestry designs where weight contributes to the fabric's body and drape.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings primarily by its weight specification. Specifically, it differs from 5111.90.50.00, which covers tapestry and upholstery fabrics of the same material but with a much lighter weight, not exceeding 140 g/m2. The category 5111.90.90.00, designated as "Other," would encompass any remaining tapestry or upholstery fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair not meeting the weight criteria of this or the aforementioned sibling category.

As a leaf node, this category represents a specific endpoint in the HTS classification structure for this type of fabric. Therefore, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the material composition (carded wool or carded fine animal hair), the intended use (tapestry or upholstery fabric), and the critical determinant of weight exceeding 300 g/m2.
