What HS code 5112 covers
Heading 5112 sits inside a clear path. Inside that is heading 5112, and under it are the detailed codes.
Some buyers and tax forms call this the HSN code 5112. It is the same heading. The World Customs Organization sets the first six digits, so the heading means the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
The heading only covers woven cloth. Yarn, raw wool and knitted goods sit in other headings. Only the cloth side of combed wool belongs here.
HS 5112 subheadings: 5112.11 to 5112.90
Each code is written two ways. The plain form is 511211. The dotted form is 5112.11. Both point to the same line. The split depends on three things: wool share, fabric weight and the blend fibre.
How to choose the right 5112 subheading
Work through the questions in order. Start with the label on the fabric or the mill test report.
Step one: check the share of wool or fine animal hair by weight. Step two, for those two codes only: check the weight.
Look at the main fibre mixed in. Man-made filaments, such as continuous polyester, point to 511220. Man-made staple fibres, which are short cut lengths spun into yarn, point to 511230. Any other mix points to 511290.
A blend of combed wool and polyester filament is therefore a 511220 case. Always match the exact customs wording, because that is what an officer will check.
Duty rates are not part of this page. Countries set them nationally, beyond the shared digits. Our HS code classifier can help you test a product description first.
5112 vs 5111 and 5113: combed, carded or coarse hair
The main difference between HS 5111 and 5112 is how the fibre was prepared. Heading 5111 is woven fabric of carded wool or carded fine animal hair. Carded wool is fluffier and has fibres that point in many directions. Heading 5112 is the same kind of cloth made from combed fibre, which is smoother and finer.
Heading 5113 is different again. It covers woven fabric of coarse animal hair or horsehair, so the fibre type changes, not just the finish.
Before the cloth exists, the fibre becomes yarn. Carded or combed wool that is not yet spun is in heading 5105. If you hold yarn or loose fibre, check those headings first.
