Last updated: September 2026 dataItaly dominates US imports under this heading, reflecting the country's long-standing role as the premier source of worsted suiting and coating fabrics made from combed wool and fine animal hair such as cashmere, alpaca, and angora. The US tariff schedule subdivides the heading by silk content, weight (notably above 300 g/m²), and fiber blend — with lines covering fabrics mixed mainly with cotton (5112909010) and those mixed with other fibers (5112909090). Peru is a notable supplier, particularly for alpaca-blend fabrics, while the United Kingdom and France contribute high-end worsted cloth. Importers should confirm the correct 10-digit line based on fabric weight, silk percentage, and secondary fiber content, as misclassification between blend categories is a common audit trigger.

One specific 10-digit line (5112903000) applies when the fabric contains more than 30% silk by weight and has a value below $33 per kilogram. Fabrics with silk content at or below that threshold, or valued above that level, fall into other lines based on weight and fiber blend. Confirming the silk percentage and declared value per kilogram is essential before filing entry.
Line 5112904000 captures combed wool or fine animal hair fabrics weighing more than 300 g/m² regardless of blend, while 5112909010 and 5112909090 address lighter or other-weight fabrics differentiated by whether the secondary fiber is mainly cotton or another fiber type. Importers must obtain laboratory test results for fabric weight and fiber composition to select the correct line.
