Last updated: July 2026 dataGimped yarn, chenille yarn, and loopwale yarn are specialty decorative constructions used in upholstery, knitwear, trimmings, and home furnishings where texture and pile effect are design priorities. The US schedule distinguishes elastic-filament constructions (5606000010) — where the core is an elastomeric filament — from non-elastic versions (5606000090), a split that reflects the different end-use sectors and duty treatment for stretch versus non-stretch decorative yarns. China dominates US imports in this heading, with India and Vietnam also significant sources. Importers should confirm whether the core yarn is elastomeric, as misclassification between the elastic and non-elastic lines is a recurring audit finding in this heading.

The elastic line (5606000010) applies when the core of the chenille or gimped construction is an elastomeric filament — typically spandex or another rubber-based continuous filament that provides stretch recovery. If the core is a conventional non-elastic yarn (polyester, cotton, acrylic, etc.), the non-elastic line (5606000090) applies. A stretch-and-recovery test or the manufacturer's fiber content specification for the core yarn is the standard documentation basis.
Chinese-origin chenille and gimped yarns may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify current Section 301 list coverage at the applicable 10-digit HTS line before shipment, as applicability can vary by construction type and the elastic versus non-elastic distinction within this heading.
