Fabrics, woven; of coarse animal hair or of horsehair

HS code 511300 covers woven fabrics made from coarse animal hair or horsehair. These fabrics have a range of industrial and commercial applications, including upholstery, carpets, and specialty textiles. As a key component in the broader textile and apparel industry, the production and trade of these fabrics play an important role in the global economy.

Fabrics under HS code 511300 are typically produced through a multi-step weaving process. First, the coarse animal hair or horsehair fibers are cleaned, carded, and spun into yarn.
