U.S. imports of unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers, mixed with manmade filaments (under 85% by weight) (HS 551621) totaled $12K in July 2026, traded with 8 countries.
Unbleached or Bleached Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers, Mixed with Manmade Filaments (Under 85% by Weight) imports of $12K in July 2026 ran 47% below the year-to-date monthly average of $23K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataBlended woven fabrics where artificial staple fibers fall below the 85% threshold and the primary blending component is manmade filament yarn — such as polyester or nylon filament — are classified here rather than in the higher-concentration subheadings. The US schedule subdivides this heading by weave construction, including print cloth (5516210030), satin/twill (5516210040), and other weaves (5516210090). India leads US supply under this heading, with China and South Korea also prominent — a sourcing pattern consistent with the broad manmade-fiber weaving capacity across South and East Asia. Accurate fiber-content breakdowns for both the staple and filament components are essential, as the blend ratio determines whether the fabric falls in this heading or in a synthetic filament fabric chapter.

Classification follows the essential character rule based on the chief weight of the fiber components. If artificial staple fibers constitute the greatest single fiber component by weight — even below 85% — the fabric generally falls in Chapter 55. If manmade filament yarn predominates by weight, Chapter 54 applies. When components are equal, additional GRI rules and CBP guidance govern the outcome.
Yes, the finishing state is a classification-determinative characteristic and separate subheadings carry their own duty rates. Unbleached and bleached fabrics (551621) are assessed differently from dyed (551622), yarn-dyed (551623), or printed (551624) versions of the same blend. Importers should confirm the finishing state at the time of importation, as further processing after entry does not retroactively change the classification.
