U.S. imports of Unbleached or Bleached Woven Textured Polyester Filament Fabrics (≥85%) (HS 540751) totaled $1.1M in August 2026, imported from 21 countries.
Importers of Unbleached or Bleached Woven Textured Polyester Filament Fabrics (≥85%) paid $147K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 17.15% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Unbleached or Bleached Woven Textured Polyester Filament Fabrics (≥85%) imports of $1.1M in August 2026 ran 35% above the year-to-date monthly average of $807K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataTextured polyester filaments — produced by crimping or false-twisting continuous filament yarn to add bulk and stretch recovery — give these greige and bleached fabrics performance characteristics distinct from flat, nontextured polyester constructions, and that distinction drives classification between headings 5407.51 and 5407.61. The US schedule subdivides by weight and whether the fabric includes yarns from heading 5404, with 5407510060 capturing heavier constructions above 170 g/m². China is the dominant supplier, with Japan and South Korea also significant; Mexico's presence reflects nearshore production for US apparel and home-textile supply chains.

The key is whether the filament yarn has been subjected to a texturing process (false-twist, air-jet, or stuffer-box) that imparts crimp, loops, or coils. A yarn specification sheet from the mill confirming the texturing method is the standard supporting document; laboratory microscopy can also confirm filament morphology if the classification is disputed.
Mexico's proximity and USMCA eligibility make it attractive for nearshore production of greige polyester fabrics destined for US cut-and-sew operations. Importers sourcing from Mexico should verify that the fabric meets USMCA rules-of-origin requirements to benefit from preferential duty treatment.
