Classification Category
Harmonized System code designating woven fabrics of combed wool or of combed fine animal hair. HS 5112 strictly governs textiles containing eighty-five percent or more by weight of these refined fibers. This designation separates luxurious worsted fabrics from those blended with synthetic filaments or lower-grade carded materials.
Duty Calculation
Custom agents refer to hs 5112 when assigning import tariffs to high-end suiting or tailoring fabrics entering international markets. Verification involves a fiber content test to confirm the species and the state of fiber preparation as combed. Incorrect categorization leads to administrative penalties or delays at the point of clearance.
Technical Requirement
Weave structures in this category must satisfy specific weight thresholds to qualify for certain sub-headings. While hs 5112 covers a broad range of textures, it excludes felt-based materials which are handled under different chapters. Buyers check invoices against the code to ensure tax calculations align with national trade agreements.
Border Logistics
Shipping documents must clearly state the fiber origin to justify the use of this specific classification. Precision in labelling supports the traceability of animal welfare standards in premium woolen goods. Inspectors periodically pull samples to verify that the fabric construction matches the declared identity.
