U.S. imports of unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of artificial filaments (≥85% artificial filament, excluding high-tenacity viscose rayon) (HS 540821) totaled $19K in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Unbleached or Bleached Woven Fabrics of Artificial Filaments (≥85% Artificial Filament, Excluding High-Tenacity Viscose Rayon) imports of $19K in April 2026 ran 56% below the year-to-date monthly average of $43K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCuprammonium rayon, lyocell, modal, and other non-high-tenacity artificial filament yarns woven into fabrics with at least 85% artificial filament content by weight—in unbleached or bleached form—are classified here, excluding the high-tenacity viscose rayon heading. The US schedule distinguishes by fabric weight: fabrics at or below 170 g/m² (5408210030) versus those exceeding 170 g/m² (5408210060), with a catch-all line (5408210000) for residual cases. South Korea and Turkey are the primary suppliers, with Canada also a notable source. The weight-per-square-meter threshold is a frequent source of classification disputes, making laboratory gram-weight certification a standard part of entry documentation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Fabrics woven from cuprammonium rayon, lyocell, modal, and other man-made cellulosic filament yarns at 85% or more by weight qualify here, provided the yarn is not high-tenacity viscose rayon (which is covered by 5408.10). Synthetic filament yarns such as polyester or nylon are classified in Chapter 54's synthetic subheadings rather than here.
Customs may require a certified laboratory test report confirming the fabric's weight per square meter, as the 170 g/m² breakpoint determines which 10-digit line applies (5408210030 for ≤170 g/m² vs. 5408210060 for >170 g/m²). Discrepancies between the commercial invoice weight and the tested weight are a common trigger for CF-28 requests for information, so importers should obtain mill certifications before shipment.
