U.S. imports of unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers, under 85%, mixed with other fibers (nesoi) (HS 551691) totaled $23K in July 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Unbleached or Bleached Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers, Under 85%, Mixed with Other Fibers (NESOI) imports of $23K in July 2026 ran 52% below the year-to-date monthly average of $48K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataResidual fiber blending — where the secondary fiber is neither wool, fine animal hair, nor cotton — places these unbleached or bleached fabrics in the 'other fibers NESOI' category, which captures blends with synthetic staple fibers, flax, silk, or other materials not enumerated elsewhere in the heading. India and China are the leading US suppliers, with Italy, Belgium, and France also present, suggesting a supply base that spans both commodity and specialty fabric production. The US schedule is notably detailed, with 10-digit lines for poplin/broadcloth (5516910010), sheeting (5516910020), cheesecloth/lawns/voiles (5516910040), duck (5516910050), satin/twill (5516910060), and a broad NESOI line (5516910090). Correct classification requires identifying both the secondary fiber type — to confirm it is not wool or cotton — and the weave construction.

Common blends include artificial staple fibers mixed with synthetic staple fibers (such as polyester), flax, ramie, or silk — any secondary fiber that is not wool, fine animal hair, or cotton. The NESOI designation means the secondary fiber must be positively identified and confirmed not to match any of the enumerated fiber categories in the 5516 heading group before this subheading applies.
Lightweight open-weave constructions like cheesecloth, lawn, and voile have distinct commercial uses in medical, culinary, and apparel applications, and their dedicated 10-digit line prevents them from defaulting to the broader NESOI line. Importers of these constructions should confirm thread count and weave openness against CBP's classification guidance to avoid misclassification into the sheeting or NESOI lines.
