Last updated: August 2026 dataWool-polyester blended woven fabrics combine the performance and cost advantages of polyester staple with the natural handle and warmth of wool or fine animal hair, making them a staple of suiting, coating, and uniform fabrics. Classification here requires that polyester staple fibers be the predominant synthetic component but constitute less than 85% by weight, with wool or fine animal hair as the blending fiber. The US schedule further subdivides by wool/fine animal hair content and combing status — lines 5515130510 and 5515130520 apply when wool or fine animal hair is 36% or more by weight (uncombed and combed, respectively), while 5515131010 and 5515131020 cover lower wool content fabrics. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, with Turkey and India also supplying the market.

The US tariff lines within 551513 distinguish between fabrics made with combed versus uncombed (carded) wool or fine animal hair when the wool/fine animal hair content is 36% or more by weight. Combed wool produces a smoother, finer yarn used in worsted-style fabrics, while carded wool yields a bulkier texture. The mill's yarn specification or a fiber analysis report should confirm the processing method.
When wool or fine animal hair content is near the 36% weight threshold, a precise fiber composition test from an accredited laboratory is advisable before filing. A result at or above 36% directs the entry to lines 5515130510 or 5515130520 depending on combing status, while a result below 36% points to lines 5515131010 or 5515131020. Borderline cases may warrant a binding ruling request to CBP.
