Importers of Yarn-Dyed Woven Nylon & Polyamide Filament Fabrics (≥85%) paid $24K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 23.07% of the $104K imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataYarn-of-different-colors construction — where individual yarns are dyed before weaving to create stripes, plaids, or checks — distinguishes this heading from its piece-dyed counterpart and is a key classification boundary customs examiners scrutinize. The US schedule further divides these fabrics by thread count and weight, with 5407431000 covering a specific thread-count range and 5407432030/5407432060 splitting by the 170 g/m² weight threshold. China is the leading supplier, with Italy and Japan notable for higher-end shirting and suiting constructions that command premium pricing in the US market.

A mill certificate or fabric specification sheet showing that yarns were dyed prior to weaving is the primary evidence. CBP may also request a laboratory analysis of cross-sections to confirm dye penetration patterns consistent with yarn dyeing versus surface or piece dyeing.
Italian and Japanese suppliers under this heading tend to produce higher-thread-count, lighter-weight fabrics used in premium shirting and suiting, while Chinese supply spans a broader weight and quality range. This specification difference can affect which 10-digit tariff line applies and influences the landed cost calculation significantly.
