U.S. imports of woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers, under 85%, mixed with manmade filaments (HS 551512) totaled $1.7M in July 2026, traded with 27 countries.
Importers of Woven Fabrics of Polyester Staple Fibers, Under 85%, Mixed with Manmade Filaments paid $368K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 26% on $1.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataBlending polyester staple fibers with manmade filaments — such as nylon or polyester filament yarns — produces fabrics with enhanced luster, strength, or surface texture widely used in outerwear, linings, and technical textiles. The filament component (rather than staple) is the key classification distinction from heading 551511, and fiber form must be confirmed by mill documentation. China dominates US supply under this heading, with Taiwan and India also significant sources. Sheeting constructions are further split by width — line 5515120022 covers widths exceeding 254 cm while 5515120027 covers widths at or below 254 cm — making fabric width a classification variable alongside fiber content.

For sheeting constructions, the US schedule distinguishes widths greater than 254 cm (line 5515120022) from those at or below 254 cm (line 5515120027). Importers should confirm the finished fabric width from the mill's technical specification sheet, as width is measured in the finished state and can differ from loom width.
If the secondary manmade fiber is confirmed as staple rather than filament, the fabric would be reclassified to heading 551511 (if viscose rayon staple) or potentially 551519 (if another staple fiber). This distinction hinges on yarn construction, so a yarn analysis or mill certificate specifying filament versus staple is essential before filing.
