HTS heading 5111 is a broad product category for woven fabrics made from carded wool or carded fine animal hair. “Woven” means the fabric is made by interlacing yarns, while “carded” describes fibers prepared by carding, generally producing a different fiber arrangement from combed (worsted) material. Fine animal hair can include qualifying hair such as cashmere or similar fibers, but the exact tariff treatment depends on the product’s documented fiber content and construction.
To narrow heading 5111 to a specific 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the fabric belongs in this heading rather than a nearby heading for combed fibers, other textile materials, knitted fabrics, or finished articles. Then use the heading’s subordinate tariff lines, which commonly distinguish the fabric by the type or proportion of wool or fine animal hair, yarn or fabric characteristics, and other stated specifications. Read the complete 8-digit description and verify it against the current HTSUS and the product’s technical records; a customs broker or classification specialist may be needed for difficult cases.
What to check
- Confirm that the fabric is woven and made from carded wool or qualifying carded fine animal hair.
- Obtain a fiber-content breakdown, including the percentages and identity of any wool, cashmere, or other animal hair, and check whether blends change the classification.
- Check whether the material is carded rather than combed, and keep manufacturing or mill documentation supporting that distinction.
- Compare every applicable 8-digit description and any relevant section, chapter, or heading notes in the current HTSUS.
- Verify the result with a qualified customs broker or seek a binding ruling when the fiber content, construction, or processing is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
