HS code for Acrylic wool blend fabric: 5515.22

Fabrics, woven, of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres n.e.c. in chapter 55, mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair.

Classification of acrylic wool blend fabric under HS 5515.22

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.

Codes often confused with 5515.22

Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
