Last updated: August 2026 dataSynthetic-fiber tarpaulins, awnings, and sunblinds — essential protective covers for construction, agriculture, transportation, and outdoor commercial applications — are classified under a single 10-digit line (6306120000). China dominates US imports in this category by a wide margin, with Canada and Vietnam as secondary sources. Goods from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a significant cost factor given the volume of Chinese supply, and importers have increasingly explored Vietnam and other Southeast Asian sources as alternatives.

Tarpaulins that are coated, covered, or laminated with plastics may be classified in chapter 59 (technical textiles) rather than chapter 63, depending on whether the coating is visible to the naked eye and the extent of impregnation. The distinction between a chapter 59 coated fabric article and a chapter 63 tarpaulin is a common classification issue; a licensed customs broker should review the product's construction and coating specifications.
Both tarpaulins and awnings are covered by the same 10-digit line (6306120000) when made of synthetic fibers, so there is no duty-rate difference between them at the 10-digit level. However, the distinction matters for quota or trade remedy purposes if future measures are applied at a more granular product level, and accurate product descriptions on entry documents remain important for CBP review.
