What HS 5112.19 covers
This category encompasses heavier woven fabrics crafted from combed wool or fine animal hair, containing 85% or more by weight of these natural fibers, and weighing over 200 grams per square meter. These robust and warm fabrics are essential for outerwear, heavier suits, and specialized upholstery, valued for their durability, insulation properties, and luxurious hand. International trade sees these materials imported by high-end fashion brands, coat manufacturers, and furniture makers, particularly in colder climates. Exporters are often countries with a strong heritage in wool processing and textile manufacturing, such as the UK, Italy, and China. Factors like fiber quality, weave density, and finish are critical in determining their market appeal and price point.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
