Importers of Printed Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers, Under 85%, Mixed with Other Fibers (NESOI) paid $22K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 22% on $101K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataSurface-printed finishing on blended artificial staple fiber fabrics — where the secondary fiber is neither wool, fine animal hair, nor cotton — places these goods in the most residual printed category of the 5516 heading group. The United Kingdom leads US imports under this heading, followed by Italy, India, Spain, and Thailand, a supplier mix that spans luxury printed fabric houses and volume-oriented Asian mills. The US schedule is the most granular of the 5516 printed subheadings, with 10-digit lines for poplin/broadcloth (5516940010), sheeting (5516940020), printcloth (5516940030), cheesecloth (5516940040), duck (5516940050), satin/twill (5516940060), and NESOI (5516940090). The dedicated printcloth line (5516940030) — absent from the cotton-mix printed subheading — reflects the commercial significance of this construction in the 'other fibers' blend category.

Printcloth is a balanced plain-weave fabric with a relatively open construction specifically designed to receive printed patterns, widely used in apparel linings, craft fabrics, and light furnishings. Its dedicated line (5516940030) reflects that it is commercially distinct from sheeting (which is heavier and wider) and from poplin/broadcloth (which has a finer rib). Importers should confirm thread count and fabric weight to distinguish printcloth from adjacent constructions.
The UK does not have a US free trade agreement, so its fabrics enter under the standard MFN column 1 rate without preferential treatment. However, UK-origin printed fabrics are not subject to Section 301 tariffs, which distinguishes them from Chinese-origin goods in the same subheading. Importers sourcing from multiple origins should maintain clear country-of-origin documentation, particularly for fabrics that may undergo finishing operations in more than one country.
