Last updated: August 2026 dataYarn-dyed construction combined with a non-enumerated secondary fiber blend defines this subheading, capturing fabrics woven from pre-colored yarns where the secondary fiber is neither wool, fine animal hair, nor cotton. Italy and France lead US imports, with India, Belgium, and Turkey also present — a supplier profile consistent with specialty suiting, shirting, and decorative fabric production. The US schedule includes dedicated lines for blue denim (5516930010) and jacquard weaves (5516930020), with a broad NESOI line (5516930090) for other constructions. The presence of a denim line here — covering denim blended with synthetic or other non-cotton secondary fibers — is a classification nuance that can catch importers off guard when sourcing stretch-denim or technical-fiber denim fabrics.

If the secondary fiber by weight is cotton, the fabric classifies under the cotton-mix yarn-dyed subheading (551643). If the secondary fiber is elastane, polyester, or another non-enumerated fiber that outweighs any cotton content, the fabric falls under the 'other fibers NESOI' yarn-dyed subheading (551693), specifically the blue denim line (5516930010) if the warp is blue-dyed. Fiber content by weight, confirmed by laboratory analysis, is the determining factor.
Some yarn-dyed fabrics — such as chambray or certain twills — appear nearly solid but are woven from differently colored warp and filling yarns. A mill certificate or weaving specification confirming that yarns were dyed before weaving, rather than the fabric being piece-dyed after weaving, is the key document. CBP may also examine the fabric's cross-section to verify yarn-level color differentiation.
