5309.29.20.00 - Containing more than 17 percent by weight of wool or fine animal hair (410) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5309.29.20.00, specifically designates woven fabrics of flax that do not meet the criteria for other subheadings within Chapter 53. The defining characteristic here is that these fabrics contain *more than 17 percent but less than 85 percent by weight of wool or fine animal hair*. This composition places them in a distinct category from pure flax fabrics or those with a significantly higher proportion of wool or fine animal hair.

This particular classification is intended for blended fabrics where flax is a significant component but is not the predominant fiber. The inclusion of wool or fine animal hair introduces specific textile properties that differentiate these goods from fabrics solely composed of flax or other vegetable fibers. It is crucial for importers and exporters to accurately determine the weight percentage of wool or fine animal hair in relation to the total fabric weight to ensure correct classification.

As a leaf node, 5309.29.20.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies solely on the precise composition, specifically the percentage of wool or fine animal hair, within the defined range for blended flax woven fabrics. Examples of goods falling under this classification could include certain types of upholstery fabrics, apparel materials, or home furnishings where the blend of flax and wool provides a desired texture, drape, or performance characteristic.
