Importers of Multiple (Folded) or Cabled Yarn of Jute or Other Textile Bast Fibers (Excl. Flax, Hemp & Ramie) paid $9K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $51K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Plied and cabled jute yarn — stronger and more dimensionally stable than single-ply — is used in heavy-duty twine, rope, carpet backing for commercial installations, and decorative textile applications. China leads US imports under tariff line 5307200000, followed by India and Bangladesh, a supplier mix that reflects both large-scale industrial spinning capacity and specialty decorative yarn production. The presence of Italy and Ireland among top suppliers points to niche demand for higher-value cabled jute in European-style home furnishing fabrics.

Jute yarn — even when cabled — remains in Chapter 53 as long as it is not put up in forms or constructions characteristic of cordage, rope, or twine as defined in Chapter 56. Once the product is marketed and packaged as rope or twine (typically above a certain diameter or in coiled/balled retail form), it may reclassify into Chapter 56. Importers should review the product's construction, diameter, and commercial presentation carefully, and consult a licensed customs broker when the line is unclear.
China's dominance in this category reflects its large-scale textile machinery base and ability to import raw jute from Bangladesh and India, process it into higher-value plied and cabled constructions, and export finished yarn competitively. Importers sourcing from China should be aware of Section 301 tariff applicability and verify that origin documentation accurately reflects where the spinning and cabling operations occurred.
