Heavy Wool Tweed Fabric from Canada
A dense woven fabric made from 100% carded wool, weighing over 400 g/m², used primarily for durable outerwear like jackets and coats. It falls under HTS 5111.19.60.80 due to its high wool content (over 85%) and weight exceeding 400 g/m², distinguishing it from lighter wool fabrics. The carded wool provides a textured, rugged surface ideal for harsh weather apparel.

Import Tips
• Verify clean yield documentation as per US notes to confirm wool content meets 85% threshold and weight >400 g/m²
• Obtain certificates of origin for wool fiber to avoid misclassification and ensure compliance with chapter definitions
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is under-declaring weight leading to reclassification to lighter subheadings
