Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from combed wool instead of carded
Combed wool fabrics shift to heading 5112, as chapter notes distinguish carded (5111) from combed processing.
If coated or laminated with plastics
Textile fabrics with plastic coatings for upholstery fall under Chapter 59 as impregnated or laminated materials.
If weight is 300 g/m² or less
Weight threshold determines subheading; lighter carded wool upholstery goes to 5111.19.
