This heading covers woven fabrics (as defined in Part (¥°) (C) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI) made of coarse animal hair included in heading 51.02 or of horsehair yarns (heading 51.10). However, woven fabrics of horsehair may also be made with single horsehairs of heading 05.11.
Woven fabrics of coarse animal hair are used for linings in furniture or furnishings, for interlinings in clothing, etc. Those made with single horsehairs are made on special looms, generally by hand. In view of the shortness of the hair (from 20 to 70 cm), these tissues are generally in small pieces and are mainly used for sieves. Other horsehair cloth is used largely for interlinings in garments. The heading does not include woven fabrics for technical uses, of heading 59.11.
