5112.11.60 - Other

This HTS category encompasses woven fabrics, excluding those composed solely of wool yarns with an average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less, that are made from combed wool or combed fine animal hair. To fall under this heading, the fabric must contain 85 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair and have a weight not exceeding 200g/m². This classification specifically addresses "other" fabrics within this sub-group, meaning those not already specifically defined by the finer fiber diameter of their wool yarns.

The key differentiator from its sibling category (5112.11.30) lies in the explicit exclusion of fabrics where the wool yarns have a specific average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less. This "other" designation implies that the fabrics classified here may have wool yarns with a larger average fiber diameter, or the fabric is composed of fine animal hair, or a combination thereof, where the specific yarn diameter is not the defining characteristic for classification at the sibling level.

Within this "other" category, further distinctions are made at the subcategory level. Subcategory 5112.11.60.30 is designated for fabrics that are wholly or in part made of fine animal hair, clarifying the material composition when wool is not the sole or predominant fine animal hair component. Subcategory 5112.11.60.60 captures any remaining fabrics that fit the parent criteria but do not specifically fall under the fine animal hair designation, encompassing a broader range of woven wool fabrics not addressed by more specific sibling or subcategory definitions.
