Hand-Woven Merino Wool Scarf Fabric from Germany

This lightweight hand-woven fabric, made from 100% carded Merino wool, weighs under 300 g/m² and is produced on a narrow loom less than 76 cm wide. It is ideal for crafting fine scarves or shawls, falling under HTS 5111.11.30.00 due to its high wool content, low weight, and hand-woven narrow construction as defined in chapter notes for wool fibers.

Import Tips

• Verify clean yield certification per US notes to confirm 85%+ wool content and avoid reclassification

• Provide loom width documentation and proof of hand-weaving to qualify for this specific subheading

• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is machine-woven fabrics misdeclared as hand-woven
