Last updated: July 2026 dataTwisted above 120 turns per meter, this single viscose rayon yarn develops the crepe effect and surface texture prized in high-end apparel and fashion fabrics — a processing distinction that separates it from the lower-twist constructions of heading 5403.31. The sole US tariff line is 5403320000. Italy leads US supply, consistent with its role as a center for luxury textile yarn finishing, with Pakistan and India also among the top sources. The relatively narrow supplier base and fashion-driven demand cycles mean inventory timing and minimum-order quantities are recurring procurement considerations for US fabric mills.

Crepe de chine, georgette, and other crepe-surface fabrics rely on high-twist yarn to generate the characteristic pebbled or crinkled texture through differential shrinkage during finishing. Apparel linings and lightweight dress fabrics that require drape without sheen also use high-twist viscose. Standard-twist yarn will not produce the same surface effect even if fiber composition is identical.
Yes — yarn near the 120 turns/meter boundary is a known audit risk. CBP may request laboratory testing to verify the actual twist count. Importers should obtain mill test reports confirming the precise turns-per-meter value and retain them as part of the entry record to defend the classification if questioned.
