Analysis
Subheading 5111.11 covers of a weight not exceeding 300 g/m2, within heading 5111. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 18 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 25%, applies to 5111.11.70 (other: other).
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 7% to 25% with a median of 10%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 5111.11.20 for tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight not exceeding 140… (7%), 5111.11.30 for hand-woven, with a loom width of less than 76 cm (410) (10%) and 5111.11.70 for other: other (25%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Broadwoven Fabric Mills (313210). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
