5112.11.10.00 - Tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight not exceeding 140 g/m2 (414)

This HTS classification pertains to specific types of tapestry and upholstery fabrics crafted from combed wool or fine animal hair. To qualify for this category, the fabric must be woven and composed of 85 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Furthermore, a critical defining characteristic is its weight, which must not exceed 200 grams per square meter. Within this specific subcategory, the weight threshold is further narrowed to not exceeding 140 grams per square meter, and the fabric is intended for use as tapestry or upholstery.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other," is crucial. While the sibling would encompass tapestry and upholstery fabrics meeting the broader criteria of combed wool/fine animal hair content and not exceeding 200 g/m², this specific subcategory isolates those fabrics that are *lighter*, specifically those not exceeding 140 g/m². This precise weight limitation is the key differentiator, allowing for more granular tariff application based on fabric density and construction for specialized end-uses like decorative tapestries or lighter-weight upholstery applications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this code relies solely on accurately meeting all the stipulated criteria: being a tapestry or upholstery fabric, woven from combed wool or fine animal hair, containing 85 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, and weighing no more than 140 grams per square meter. Exporters and importers must ensure that detailed product specifications and testing results confirm adherence to these requirements for correct customs declaration.
