Importers of Woven Fabrics of Combed Wool or Fine Animal Hair, ≥85% by Weight, Not Over 200 g/m² paid $81K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 22% on $364K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataLightweight combed-wool and fine-animal-hair wovens at or below 200 g/m² represent the premium end of suiting and tropical-weight fabric trade, where the combing process aligns fibers for a smoother, higher-luster finish than carded equivalents. Mexico and Chile are the leading US suppliers under this heading — Chile's position reflecting its significant fine-wool and alpaca textile industry — with Italy and the United Kingdom also contributing. Six US tariff lines further subdivide by fiber diameter, with dedicated lines for ultra-fine animal hair at or below 18.5 microns (5112113030, 5112113060), making micron certification from the mill a practical necessity.

Several tariff lines under this heading apply specifically to fine animal hair at or below 18.5 microns — a threshold associated with premium fibers such as superfine merino or cashmere. Fabrics meeting this micron specification are separated from broader wool fabrics in the US schedule. Importers must obtain a fiber diameter test certificate (typically an IWTO or equivalent lab report) to substantiate classification on the finer-fiber lines.
A fabric weighing exactly 200 g/m² falls within heading 511211, which covers fabrics 'not over 200 g/m².' Heading 511219 applies to fabrics exceeding 200 g/m². Because finishing processes can shift weight slightly, importers should obtain a certified weight test on the finished fabric as imported to confirm the correct heading.
