U.S. exports of yarn of vegetable textile fibers (other) (HS 530890) totaled $211K in July 2026.
Last updated: July 2026 dataYarns spun from vegetable fibers other than cotton, jute, flax, true hemp, or ramie — including coir, ramie blends, and paper yarn — occupy a niche but growing segment of the specialty textile market. The US schedule divides this heading into paper yarn (5308901000) and all other vegetable fiber yarns (5308909000), a distinction that affects both duty treatment and end-use classification. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, followed by China and Germany, reflecting both proximity-driven supply chains and European specialty fiber production. Importers should confirm fiber composition carefully, as misclassification between this residual heading and more specific vegetable fiber yarn headings is a common audit trigger.

The schedule separates paper yarn (5308901000) from all other vegetable textile fiber yarns not elsewhere specified (5308909000). Importers must confirm whether the yarn substrate is paper-based or a natural plant fiber to ensure correct classification and avoid reclassification at entry.
Yarns of coir (coconut fiber), agave, abaca, and similar plant-based fibers that are not cotton, jute, flax, true hemp, or ramie fall into this residual heading. Paper yarn — twisted or wrapped paper strips used in weaving — is also captured here, making fiber identification documentation critical at entry.
