Last updated: April 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.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
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.
