U.S. imports of unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers (85%+ by weight) (HS 551611) totaled $16K in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Unbleached or Bleached Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers (85%+ by Weight) imports of $16K in April 2026 ran 86% below the year-to-date monthly average of $112K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven fabrics composed of at least 85% artificial staple fiber by weight — primarily viscose/rayon constructions — in their unbleached or bleached (greige or scoured) state are classified here before any dyeing or printing step. The US schedule subdivides tariff line 5516110000 into specific constructions including poplin/broadcloth (5516110010), sheeting (5516110020), and other weaves (5516110090), making weave type a critical classification variable. Pakistan leads US supply under this heading, with China and Italy also among the top sources. Importers should note that fabrics in this state are often further processed domestically, so accurate fiber-content documentation is essential to avoid reclassification.

The 10-digit lines separate poplin and broadcloth weaves (5516110010), sheeting constructions (5516110020), and all other weaves (5516110090). Importers must identify the specific weave type on entry documentation, as misclassification between these lines can affect duty liability.
CBP generally requires a mill certificate or laboratory test report confirming the fiber composition by weight. If the fabric contains any blend of synthetic or natural fibers, even in small quantities, the percentage must be verified to ensure the 85% threshold is met and the correct heading applies.
