U.S. imports of textured nylon & polyamide filament yarn, over 500 decitex (HS 540232) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Textured Nylon & Polyamide Filament Yarn, Over 500 Decitex paid $254K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $1.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCoarser textured nylon yarn exceeding 500 decitex serves heavier end-uses such as upholstery fabrics, carpet face yarns, automotive interiors, and industrial knits where durability and abrasion resistance outweigh fineness. Ireland leads US imports under this heading — reflecting specialty nylon production capacity there — with India and South Korea also supplying the market. The three 10-digit lines (5402320000, 5402323000, and 5402326000) separate single from multiple or cabled constructions, a distinction that affects both duty treatment and downstream fabric performance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Each lot must be classified based on its own measured linear density. Mixed shipments containing both sub-500 and over-500 decitex yarn should be entered on separate lines under 540231 and 540232 respectively. Blending lots to obscure the boundary would constitute a misclassification; laboratory testing of representative samples from each lot is the recommended practice.
A single yarn consists of one strand of textured filaments, while a multiple or cabled yarn is formed by twisting two or more single yarns together. The distinction matters because 5402323000 covers single constructions and 5402326000 covers multiple or cabled constructions, and the two lines may carry different duty rates.
