5112.90.40.00 - Tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight exceeding 300 g/m2 (414) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5112.90.40.00, specifically covers tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics that are manufactured from wool or fine animal hair, and importantly, weigh more than 300 grams per square meter. These are typically heavy-duty, durable fabrics designed for decorative and functional use in furnishings. Examples include rich, densely woven fabrics suitable for ornate wall hangings or robust upholstery for furniture that requires substantial wear resistance.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, 5112.90.50.00. While both fall under woven fabrics of wool or fine animal hair and are designated for tapestry or upholstery use, the primary distinguishing factor is weight. This node strictly applies to fabrics exceeding 300 g/m², whereas 5112.90.50.00 is for fabrics not exceeding 140 g/m². The "Other" category at 5112.90.90 encompasses any tapestry or upholstery fabrics of wool or fine animal hair that do not meet the weight criteria of either of these specific subheadings.

As a leaf node, 5112.90.40.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this category relies entirely on meeting the explicit criteria: being a tapestry or upholstery fabric made from wool or fine animal hair and having a weight exceeding 300 grams per square meter. Careful verification of the fabric's weight is essential for accurate classification.
