Importers of Sanitary Pads, Tampons, Diapers & Diaper Liners paid $8.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $55.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAbsorbent hygiene products — including sanitary napkins, tampons, disposable diapers, and diaper liners — are among the most granularly subdivided headings in Chapter 96, with tariff lines differentiated by both material (plastic, paper pulp, cotton, synthetic fiber, artificial fiber, and other textiles) and construction (knitted, woven, or nonwoven). Canada and Mexico are the leading US import sources, reflecting integrated North American manufacturing supply chains. Textile-based lines carry separate textile category numbers, which can trigger quota or visa requirements depending on origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule assigns distinct 10-digit lines based on whether the article is made of plastic, paper pulp, cotton (knit or woven), synthetic fibers, artificial fibers, or other textile fibers. Misidentifying the primary material can result in the wrong duty rate and, for textile-based lines, the wrong textile category number — which affects quota and visa compliance.
Textile-based lines within this heading carry textile category numbers (e.g., category 239 or 839), which may require a textile visa or other documentation depending on the country of origin. Importers should verify current quota and visa requirements with CBP and a licensed customs broker before shipment.
