5112.11 - Of a weight not exceeding 200g/m2:

This HTS category, 5112.11, specifically classifies woven fabrics comprised of 85 percent or more wool or fine animal hair by weight, which are further defined by their weight not exceeding 200 grams per square meter. These fabrics are typically characterized by their refined texture and lighter weight, making them suitable for a variety of apparel and home furnishing applications where a delicate drape and feel are desired.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5112.19, which covers "Other" woven fabrics meeting the same wool content and weight criteria, is crucial. While both fall under the broader umbrella of woven fabrics of combed wool or fine animal hair weighing up to 200 g/m2, 5112.11 focuses on a specific subset based on its precise weight limitation. Sibling category 5112.19 encompasses all other fabrics within this group that do not meet the specific weight parameters of 5112.11.

Within this classification, subcategories further refine the classification based on specific end-uses. The primary subcategory, 5112.11.10.00, identifies tapestry and upholstery fabrics weighing not exceeding 140 g/m2. This indicates a further narrowing of scope based on both a lower weight threshold and a specific application. The existence of an "Other" subcategory here implies that other types of woven fabrics, still meeting the 200 g/m2 limit but not specifically tapestry or upholstery under 140 g/m2, would be classified accordingly.
