Last updated: April 2026 dataWool, silk, and other non-cotton, non-synthetic textile waddings occupy this residual heading, which the US schedule subdivides by fiber content: silk-predominant (≥85% silk, 5601290010), wool (5601290020), and all remaining textile fibers (5601290090). These specialty waddings serve niche markets — high-end quilting, traditional craft, and acoustic insulation — where fiber origin and natural-fiber certification often command premium pricing. China is the leading supplier, with Turkey and Mexico also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes.

Classification follows the essential character rule applied to the chief weight of the fiber content. Wadding containing 85% or more silk by weight falls under 5601290010; wool-predominant wadding (by chief weight) goes to 5601290020; all other textile fiber waddings, including blends not meeting those thresholds, are classified under 5601290090. When fiber content is ambiguous, laboratory testing and a binding ruling request from CBP can resolve the classification before importation.
Wool wadding is subject to the Wool Products Labeling Act if it enters commerce as a consumer product, requiring accurate fiber content disclosure. At the border, standard textile entry documentation applies, but importers should also verify whether the product meets any applicable flammability standards if it will be used in upholstered goods or bedding sold in the US market.
