U.S. imports of unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of other synthetic filaments (≥85%, excl. polyamide & polyester) (HS 540771) totaled $1.1M in April 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Importers of Unbleached or Bleached Woven Fabrics of Other Synthetic Filaments (≥85%, Excl. Polyamide & Polyester) paid $287K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 26% on $1.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPolypropylene, polyethylene, aramid, and other non-polyamide, non-polyester synthetic filament fabrics at 85% or more by weight occupy this residual heading, which serves niche industrial, protective, and specialty apparel markets where commodity polyester or nylon would not meet performance requirements. The US schedule splits by weight — 5407710015 for fabrics under 170 g/m² and 5407710060 for heavier constructions — with the heavier goods often associated with technical and industrial end uses. Japan leads US supply, followed by the United Kingdom and China, reflecting the concentration of advanced synthetic-fiber weaving capacity in those markets.

Polypropylene, polyethylene, modacrylic, and high-performance fibers such as aramid (e.g., Kevlar-type) or PEEK filaments can fall here when woven at 85% or more by weight. Unlike polyester and nylon, these fibers are classified under separate chapters of the HTS, so confirming the fiber identity through a laboratory fiber-content analysis is essential before classification.
Japan and the UK have established advanced-materials industries producing high-performance synthetic filament fabrics for aerospace, defense, and technical apparel applications — end uses that demand fiber types beyond commodity polyester or nylon. These specialty fabrics often require detailed technical specifications and may be subject to export controls in the country of origin, adding a compliance layer beyond standard customs entry.
