U.S. imports of multiple or cabled yarn of polyester staple fibers, ≥85% by weight, not for retail sale (HS 550922) totaled $1.4M in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMultiple and cabled yarns of at least 85% polyester staple fiber are a high-volume intermediate in the global textile supply chain, used in weaving, knitting, and technical fabric production where enhanced strength and reduced single-end breakage are required. The US schedule provides three tariff lines under this heading: 5509220000 (the general line), 5509220010 (multiple twisted), and 5509220090 (other), allowing for more granular classification than most other staple yarn headings. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin imports, and the multi-line structure means correct 10-digit classification requires careful review of yarn construction details.

The subdivision at the 10-digit level distinguishes multiple twisted yarns (5509220010) from other multiple or cabled constructions (5509220090). The key factor is the specific twisting method and construction: importers should obtain detailed yarn construction specifications from the manufacturer — including twist direction, twist per meter, and ply count — to determine which line applies. Misclassification between these lines can affect duty liability and trade remedy exposure.
Trade remedy orders are product- and country-specific and change over time. Importers of polyester staple multiple or cabled yarn should search the CBP ADD/CVD portal and the USITC's active orders database using the applicable HTS codes (5509220000, 5509220010, 5509220090) to identify any current antidumping or countervailing duty orders. A licensed customs broker can assist with scope rulings if the product's coverage is unclear.
