Last updated: August 2026 dataWool-based apparel and household goods — including suits, coats, blankets, and upholstery fabrics — occupy a distinct niche in US import trade, with duty structures that differ meaningfully from cotton or synthetic equivalents. Wool textile and apparel lines are generally subject to ad valorem or compound duties under the HTS, and some specialty wool articles benefit from tariff-rate quota treatment. The fiber content threshold that triggers classification as 'wool' rather than a blended or synthetic article is a frequent classification dispute, making precise laboratory testing of fiber composition a practical necessity for importers.

Under the HTS, classification as a wool article typically requires that wool be the chief weight component — generally more than 50 percent by weight of the total fiber content. Blended fabrics where wool is not the predominant fiber by weight will usually be classified under a different heading, so laboratory fiber analysis is advisable before entry.
Yes, certain wool apparel and fabric categories are subject to tariff-rate quotas administered by the US government. Goods entered within the quota threshold face a lower in-quota duty rate, while over-quota entries are assessed a higher rate. Importers should monitor quota fill levels and filing windows, as popular categories can fill quickly during peak import seasons.
