Last updated: August 2026 dataFabrics subject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China fall under this heading, which covers piece-dyed woven constructions built from nylon or other polyamide filaments at 85% or more by weight. The US schedule subdivides the heading by fabric weight: 5407420030 covers goods under 170 g/m², while 5407420060 covers heavier constructions above that threshold — a distinction that matters for apparel versus technical-textile end uses. Taiwan leads US supply, followed by China and Japan, making origin documentation and Section 301 exclusion tracking a routine compliance task for importers of lighter-weight nylon taffetas and linings.
