U.S. exports of textile fabrics impregnated, coated, or laminated with polyurethane (HS 590320) totaled $34.3M in July 2026.
Importers of Textile Fabrics Impregnated, Coated, or Laminated with Polyurethane paid $3.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $16.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Textile Fabrics Impregnated, Coated, or Laminated with Polyurethane imports of $25.9M in July 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $22.8M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPolyurethane-coated and laminated textile fabrics are a primary input for synthetic leather goods, performance outerwear, footwear uppers, and automotive interior components, where the PU coating provides a soft hand, abrasion resistance, and moisture management. Japan leads US imports under this heading — reflecting that country's advanced technical textile and synthetic leather manufacturing capabilities — with China, Taiwan, and South Korea also among the top suppliers. The eight US 10-digit lines under 5903.20 parallel the PVC structure, splitting by base fiber type, plastic content percentage, and bonding method, so importers must verify both the substrate fiber and the PU weight fraction. Goods from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the applicable 10-digit line.

Faux or vegan leather made from a textile substrate coated with polyurethane is generally classified under heading 5903.20 rather than in Chapter 39 or Chapter 42, provided the textile substrate remains visible on at least one surface. If the PU coating completely obscures the textile on both surfaces and the product's character is essentially that of a plastic sheet, reclassification into Chapter 39 is possible. End-use marketing terms do not control classification; the physical construction does.
Lines 5903201500 and 5903201800 specifically cover man-made fiber fabrics bonded with polyurethane where the plastic content exceeds 60% by weight, and they carry different duty treatment than the lines for lower plastic-content fabrics. This threshold matters because many performance textile laminates are engineered close to this boundary, and a small difference in coating weight can shift classification — and duty liability — between lines.
