Last updated: September 2026 dataCoarse animal hair fabrics — woven from fibers such as yak, camel outer coat, or horsehair — occupy a narrow but specialized niche in upholstery, tailoring interfacing, and artisanal textile applications. The entire heading collapses into a single 10-digit line (5113000000), simplifying classification but placing the burden on importers to correctly distinguish coarse hair from fine animal hair, which classifies under Chapter 51's fine-hair headings. The United Kingdom and France are the leading US suppliers, reflecting European heritage industries in horsehair weaving and coarse-hair cloth. Italy and China also contribute to import volumes.

The HTS and HS nomenclature define fine animal hair as fibers from specific animals (cashmere goat, angora rabbit, alpaca, llama, vicuña, and others listed in Chapter 51 notes), measured by average fiber diameter. Hair from animals not enumerated in those notes, or outer-coat fibers exceeding the diameter thresholds, is treated as coarse animal hair. A fiber analysis certificate from an accredited laboratory is the standard documentation used to support the classification.
Horsehair woven fabric is used primarily as a stiffening interlining in bespoke tailoring and high-end suit construction, as well as in upholstery for furniture and musical instrument bows. Coarse yak or camel outer-coat fabrics serve niche outerwear and artisanal textile markets. Demand is closely tied to the luxury apparel and custom furniture sectors rather than mass-market manufacturing.
