Last updated: May 2026 dataDyed woven fabrics with 85% or more artificial staple fiber content — chiefly viscose and modal constructions — occupy a distinct finishing stage from their unbleached counterparts, and the dyeing process itself is a classification-determinative characteristic under Chapter 55. The US schedule breaks this heading into poplin/broadcloth (5516120010), sheeting (5516120020), and other constructions (5516120090). Portugal leads US imports under this heading, followed by South Korea and China — a supplier mix that reflects both European specialty fabric mills and Asian volume producers. Accurate shade and finish documentation supports both classification and any applicable textile visa or quota compliance requirements.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Portugal hosts a concentration of specialty weaving and finishing mills that produce high-quality dyed viscose and modal fabrics favored by apparel and home-textile brands. These mills often serve European fashion supply chains that also export to the US market, giving Portugal an outsized presence relative to its overall textile output.
No. A fabric that has been printed after dyeing is generally classified under the printed subheading (551614) rather than the dyed subheading. The finishing method applied last — or the dominant finishing characteristic — governs classification, and importers should consult a licensed customs broker when a fabric has undergone multiple finishing steps.
