5112.19.60.20 - Weighing more than 270 g/m2 but not more than 340 g/m2 (410) 🖩

This HTS category, 5112.19.60.20, specifically classifies woven fabrics composed of wool yarns with an average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less, which also contain fine animal hair, and weigh more than 270 grams per square meter but not more than 340 grams per square meter. These fabrics are derived from combed wool or combed fine animal hair, and their composition is predominantly wool or fine animal hair, exceeding 85% by weight. The critical defining characteristic for this particular classification is its precise weight range per unit area.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is essential for accurate classification. HTS code 5112.19.60.10 covers similar woven fabrics but specifically those weighing *not more than* 270 g/m². Conversely, 5112.19.60.30 encompasses fabrics of the same wool yarn and fine animal hair composition but weighing *more than* 340 g/m². Therefore, the weight parameter is the sole differentiator at this level, placing this category firmly within the mid-weight range for these specialized wool and fine animal hair woven fabrics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification terminates at this specific description, meaning that any woven fabric meeting all the preceding criteria, including the specified fiber diameter, the presence of fine animal hair, and a weight falling strictly between 270 and 340 g/m², will be classified under 5112.19.60.20. Examples might include heavier weight suiting materials or certain types of dress fabrics where the finer micron count contributes to a smoother hand and enhanced drape.
