What HS 5112.90 covers
This HS code serves as a residual category for woven fabrics of combed wool or fine animal hair, containing less than 85% by weight of these natural fibers, and mixed mainly or solely with other fibers not specifically covered in 511220 or 511230. This includes blends with other natural fibers like cotton, linen, or silk, or specialty synthetic fibers. These fabrics are often developed for unique aesthetic qualities, enhanced performance, or specific niche applications, combining the luxury of wool with the distinct characteristics of other materials. Importers are diverse, ranging from specialized fashion brands to manufacturers of technical textiles. Exporters are typically countries with advanced textile blending capabilities and access to a wide array of raw materials, such as Italy, China, and India. The specific 'other' fiber component is critical for accurate classification and market positioning.

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).
