U.S. imports of printed woven fabrics of artificial filaments (≥85% artificial filament, excluding high-tenacity viscose rayon) (HS 540824) totaled $72K in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Importers of Printed Woven Fabrics of Artificial Filaments (≥85% Artificial Filament, Excluding High-Tenacity Viscose Rayon) paid $22K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 30% on $72K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Printed Woven Fabrics of Artificial Filaments (≥85% Artificial Filament, Excluding High-Tenacity Viscose Rayon) imports of $72K in April 2026 ran 53% below the year-to-date monthly average of $155K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPrinted artificial filament fabrics at 85% or more artificial filament content—excluding high-tenacity viscose rayon—are widely used in fashion apparel, scarves, and home décor, where the smooth filament surface provides an ideal substrate for high-resolution print designs. The US schedule distinguishes cuprammonium rayon (5408241000), discharge-printed constructions (5408249010), and standard printed fabrics split by weight (5408249020 for ≤170 g/m² and 5408249050 for >170 g/m²). China leads supply under this heading and may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, while Italy is a significant secondary source for premium fashion-grade printed fabrics. Discharge printing—where dye is selectively removed from a pre-dyed ground—has its own dedicated 10-digit line (5408249010), a distinction that importers should confirm with mill process documentation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Discharge printing involves applying a chemical agent to a pre-dyed fabric to remove color in specific areas, creating a pattern against the dyed ground. The US schedule isolates discharge-printed fabrics at 5408249010 because the process is technically and commercially distinct from conventional overprint methods; importers must confirm the printing technique with the mill to ensure correct line selection.
Yes. China is the leading supplier under this heading, and woven fabrics of artificial filaments from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the base MFN duty. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list status for the applicable 10-digit HTS code and factor additional duty costs into landed-cost calculations. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable given the complexity of Section 301 product exclusions and modifications.
