Last updated: July 2026 dataPolyester-viscose rayon blended woven fabrics occupy a commercially active niche in apparel and home textiles, where the viscose component adds drape and softness to the polyester base. At under 85% polyester by weight, these fabrics are classified here rather than in the predominantly polyester headings, making fiber ratio documentation critical at entry. Portugal and Italy lead US imports under this heading, with China also a significant source. The US schedule is unusually granular, with dedicated lines for constructions including blue denim (5515110010), sheeting (5515110020), printcloth (5515110025), oxford cloth (5515110045), and satin/twill weaves (5515110040), among others.

US textile tariff schedules historically distinguish fabric constructions — denim, sheeting, printcloth, oxford, satin/twill — because duty rates and quota history have differed by end-use fabric type. Importers must match the specific weave and finish to the correct 10-digit line to avoid misclassification, which can trigger penalty exposure or delayed entry.
CBP expects a fiber composition certificate or mill test report confirming that polyester staple fibers constitute less than 85% by weight and that the secondary fiber is viscose rayon staple — not filament rayon. If the secondary fiber is a manmade filament rather than staple, the fabric would shift to heading 551512.
