Last updated: July 2026 dataUnbleached woven fabrics of jute and other textile bast fibers — excluding flax, true hemp, and ramie — are a foundational packaging and industrial material, widely used for burlap sacking, geotextiles, and backing substrates. India and Bangladesh together dominate global jute fabric production and lead US imports under this heading, a concentration that reflects the geographic specificity of raw jute cultivation in the Bengal region. The US tariff lines under 5310100000 subdivide by price per square meter (not over 130 cents, over 130 but not over 250 cents, and over 250 cents per square meter), so accurate invoice pricing and unit-of-measure declarations are critical to correct classification.

The applicable 10-digit line depends on the fabric's value expressed in US cents per square meter as declared on the commercial invoice. The three thresholds are: not over 130 cents (5310100020), over 130 but not over 250 cents (5310100040), and over 250 cents (5310100060). Importers should ensure the invoice price reflects the actual transaction value per square meter to avoid misclassification.
End use does not change the HTS classification for unbleached jute fabric — the heading applies regardless of whether the fabric is destined for sacking, geotextile, carpet backing, or other industrial applications. Classification is based on fiber composition, bleaching state, and price per square meter, not on the downstream application.
