HS Code for Acrylic wool blend fabric

HS code 551522 specifically classifies woven fabrics made from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, provided they are mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair. This classification is precise, focusing on three key attributes: the fabric's construction (woven), its primary synthetic fibre content (acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres), and its specific blend composition (mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair). The "n.e.c. in chapter 55" clause indicates that this code applies to fabrics not more specifically covered elsewhere within Chapter 55, which deals with man-made staple fibres. This subheading is crucial for identifying textile products that combine the properties of synthetic acrylic fibres with the natural characteristics of wool or fine animal hair, resulting in fabrics suitable for various apparel and furnishing applications.

Common Misclassification

A common misclassification occurs with HS code 550961, which covers yarn of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, not put up for retail sale. The fundamental distinction is that 551522 is for finished woven fabrics, whereas 550961 is for spun yarn, an intermediate product. Another potential area of confusion is with HS code 551521, which classifies woven fabrics of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres mixed mainly or solely with artificial staple fibres. The key difference here is the blending material: 551522 specifies wool or fine animal hair, while 551521 specifies artificial staple fibres. Accurate classification requires careful attention to both the product's form (fabric vs. yarn) and its precise fibre composition.
