Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven fabrics made from vegetable fibers not covered by more specific headings — including true hemp, ramie, coir, and agave — as well as fabrics woven from paper yarn, are consolidated under this residual heading, which spans a wide range of end uses from artisanal home textiles to industrial substrates. India and China lead US imports, with Italy and the United Kingdom supplying specialty and designer-grade goods. The US schedule includes a dedicated line for true hemp fiber fabrics (5311004010) and a separate line for paper yarn fabrics (5311006000), making fiber identification and substrate documentation essential; the remaining lines sort by wool content, cotton/MMF blend type, and restraint category in a structure parallel to the mixed-fiber flax headings.

The US schedule provides a dedicated 10-digit line, 5311004010, specifically for woven fabrics of true hemp fibers, distinguishing them from other vegetable fiber fabrics (5311004020) and paper yarn fabrics (5311006000). Importers must confirm the fiber is Cannabis sativa (true hemp) and provide supporting documentation such as a fiber analysis certificate, as misidentification with other bast fibers can result in reclassification.
Paper yarn is produced by slitting and twisting paper strips rather than processing plant fibers in the conventional textile sense. Fabrics woven from paper yarn are classified under 5311006000 regardless of any plant-fiber content in the paper substrate. The key classification indicator is the yarn construction method; importers should obtain a yarn specification sheet from the manufacturer confirming the paper-based substrate.
