Woven Fabrics of Combed Wool or Fine Animal Hair, Mixed with Manmade Staple Fibers

Fabrics near these weight thresholds are at elevated risk of misclassification if weight is measured on greige rather than finished fabric, or if the test method differs from CBP's reference standard. A fabric finishing process such as milling or pressing can shift weight across a boundary. Importers should obtain certified weight tests on the finished, as-imported fabric and retain the test report as part of the entry documentation.

Turkey has a well-developed integrated textile industry with significant capacity in worsted-process blended fabrics, including wool-polyester and wool-acrylic staple blends used in suiting and uniform applications. Turkish mills often supply mid-weight fabrics in the 140–300 g/m² range, which would fall under the residual line 5112303000. Importers should verify fiber composition and weight documentation regardless of origin.
