U.S. imports of woven fabrics of artificial filaments from different-colored yarns (≥85% artificial filament, excluding high-tenacity viscose rayon) (HS 540823) totaled $76K in July 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Importers of Woven Fabrics of Artificial Filaments from Different-Colored Yarns (≥85% Artificial Filament, Excluding High-Tenacity Viscose Rayon) paid $8K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $61K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Woven Fabrics of Artificial Filaments from Different-Colored Yarns (≥85% Artificial Filament, Excluding High-Tenacity Viscose Rayon) imports of $76K in July 2026 ran 49% above the year-to-date monthly average of $51K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataYarn-dyed woven fabrics—where color is introduced at the yarn stage before weaving rather than piece-dyed after construction—achieve deeper color penetration and more complex pattern effects such as stripes, checks, and jacquards, making them a staple of suiting, shirting, and decorative textile markets. At 85% or more artificial filament content (excluding high-tenacity viscose rayon), this heading covers constructions in cuprammonium rayon (5408231100 and 5408232100), as well as other artificial filaments split by thread count and weight thresholds. Italy and France lead US imports under this heading, reflecting the concentration of high-end yarn-dyed fabric production in European mills. The thread-count breakpoints embedded in several 10-digit lines (e.g., greater than 69 but not greater than 142 threads) require precise technical documentation from the mill.

Several lines under 5408.23 (such as 5408231100 and 5408231900) apply to fabrics with thread counts greater than 69 and not greater than 142 per centimeter. Importers should obtain a mill specification sheet or independent laboratory thread-count analysis to substantiate the classification, as CBP may request this during a CF-28 or CF-29 review.
A yarn-dyed fabric is woven from yarns that were dyed before weaving, producing the color pattern as an integral part of the weave structure; it is classified under the 'of different colored yarns' subheadings (5408.23 series). A piece-dyed fabric is woven from undyed yarn and dyed as a finished cloth, classifying under the 'dyed' subheadings (5408.22 series). The distinction affects both the tariff line and, in some cases, the applicable duty rate.
