Last updated: April 2026 dataJute and allied bast fibers that have been broken, scutched, or hackled — but not yet spun — along with tow, noils, and yarn waste, serve as inputs for nonwoven geotextiles, erosion-control products, and lower-grade spinning operations. Bangladesh and India together account for the bulk of US imports under tariff line 5303900000, consistent with their dominant roles across the jute-fiber supply chain. Pakistan and Germany also appear among leading suppliers, the latter likely reflecting re-export of processed European fiber stocks.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yarn waste and garnetted stock derived from jute or allied bast fibers (excluding flax, true hemp, and ramie) are explicitly included in heading 530390 and enter under 5303900000. Waste from flax or true hemp would instead fall under their respective headings in Chapter 53. If the waste has been further processed into a nonwoven or felt product, reclassification into Chapter 56 may be appropriate.
Bangladesh and India together represent the dominant share of US imports under this heading, meaning that monsoon-season disruptions, export policy changes, or port congestion in either country can quickly tighten availability. Buyers sourcing for just-in-time geotextile or packaging applications often maintain safety stock or qualify secondary suppliers in Pakistan or Europe to manage this concentration risk.
