HS Code 5113.00 – Fabrics, woven; of coarse animal hair or of horsehair
HS code 5113.00 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, of coarse animal hair or of horsehair. It is used for horsehair interlining fabric, coarse goat hair upholstery fabric, camel hair carpet backing, yak hair woven textile and stiff animal hair canvas.
What HS 5113.00 covers
This niche HS code covers woven fabrics made from coarse animal hair or horsehair. Unlike fine animal hair, these materials are characterized by their unique texture, stiffness, and exceptional durability, making them suitable for specialized applications rather than mainstream apparel. In international trade, these fabrics are primarily imported by manufacturers of high-quality interlinings for tailored garments, upholstery for antique or luxury furniture, specialized brushes, and traditional crafts. Exporters are typically countries with livestock industries that produce these specific types of animal hair, often processed by specialized textile mills with expertise in handling these unique fibers. The trade volume is smaller compared to fine wools, but the demand is consistent for specific industrial and luxury uses.

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).
