BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Product characteristics and tariff classification

CN code 560221 covers felt of wool or fine animal hair, not impregnated, coated, or laminated. Wool felt is one of the oldest textile materials, produced by matting loose wool fibres under the influence of heat, moisture, and mechanical pressure. The product is widely used in the garment, furniture, musical instrument, and technical industries. For customs classification, it is important to distinguish between wool felt and synthetic fibre felt, as this determines the CN code. Wool felt must consist of at least 50 percent wool or fine animal hair by weight. Customs documentation should include information on the raw material composition, weight per square metre, and any surface finishing applied.

Regulatory and certification requirements

Wool felt imported into the European Union is subject to the Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, requiring labelling indicating fibre composition. REACH restricts the use of chemical substances in textile products, including chrome dyes, formaldehyde, and moth-proofing agents. Wool felt intended for construction applications as thermal or acoustic insulation may be subject to the CPR (EU) No 305/2011 and require CE marking. When exporting felt to third countries, verification of phytosanitary regulations for wool products may be necessary, as some countries require certificates confirming the absence of biological contamination. Import of raw wool is subject to veterinary controls under Regulation (EU) 2016/429.

Trade aspects and import practice

When clearing wool felt under CN code 560221, the customs declaration should include a fibre composition specification confirming the wool content. Wool felt is primarily produced in European countries, Turkey, and China. For imports from countries with which the EU has free trade agreements, preferential duty rates may be applied, provided the origin of the goods is properly documented. Transport of wool felt requires protection against moisture and pests, and for longer storage periods, the use of moth protection is recommended. Importers should check the TARIC system for current duty rates and any protective measures in force.

Wool felt CN 5602 21 – traditional textile material

CN code 5602 21 covers felt of wool or fine animal hair, not impregnated or coated. Wool felt is produced by matting wool fibres under moisture, heat and pressure. It is used in hat making, footwear, industrial seals and decorative items. When importing, it is important to determine whether the felt is from sheep wool or other animal hair, as this may affect phytosanitary regulations.

Frequently asked questions

What minimum wool content qualifies felt for code 560221?
Felt classified under code 560221 must be made of wool or fine animal hair constituting at least 50 percent of the fibre mass. If the wool content is lower, the felt may be classified under other CN codes depending on the predominant fibre type. The composition must be confirmed through laboratory testing.
Does wool felt require veterinary control on import?
Felt as a processed product is generally not subject to veterinary controls at the EU border. However, unprocessed raw wool is subject to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 on animal health. Felt that has undergone high-temperature felting process is regarded as veterinary-safe.
Which chemical substances are restricted in wool felt?
REACH restricts in textile products formaldehyde, azo dyes releasing carcinogenic aromatic amines, chromium VI used in chrome dyes, and organochlorine-based moth-proofing agents. Importers should hold laboratory test results confirming compliance with the limits set out in Annex XVII of REACH.
Does importing wool felt CN 5602 21 require veterinary checks?
Wool felt CN 5602 21 may require veterinary inspection if it has not undergone full thermal processing. A treatment certificate confirming pathogen elimination may be required. Details depend on the country of origin.
