Last updated: July 2026 dataTextile flock — very short fibers (not exceeding 5 mm in length) — along with textile dust and mill neps, functions as a surface-coating material in flocked fabrics, automotive interiors, and specialty paper, as well as a byproduct recovered from fiber processing. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (5601300000), so classification disputes typically center on whether the material meets the 5 mm length threshold versus longer cut fibers classified elsewhere. Netherlands and Japan are the leading US suppliers, reflecting the concentration of precision flock-cutting and specialty fiber processing in those markets.

Textile flock under heading 5601300000 must consist of fibers not exceeding 5 mm in length. Cut staple fibers longer than 5 mm are classified in Chapter 55 as man-made staple fibers or under other headings depending on fiber type. Importers dealing with borderline-length product should obtain a CBP binding ruling or laboratory measurement to avoid misclassification.
Textile flock is widely used in automotive interior trim (door panels, headliners), flocked wallcoverings and gift wrap, toy and novelty surfaces, and specialty filtration media. Its short fiber length creates a velvet-like surface texture when electrostatically applied, making it a key input for manufacturers seeking tactile surface effects without woven fabric.
