Last updated: July 2026 dataMultiple and cabled constructions of high-purity artificial staple fiber yarn — viscose, modal, lyocell, and related fibers at 85% or more by weight — offer greater tensile strength and uniformity than single yarns, making them preferred inputs for woven fabrics, technical textiles, and certain knit constructions. Indonesia and India again lead US supply at this construction level, consistent with their dominant role across the artificial staple fiber yarn category. Italy's presence among top suppliers reflects European specialty weaving mills that both consume and re-export these yarns. The single 10-digit line is 5510120000.

Multiple and cabled yarns have higher tensile strength, more even twist distribution, and better resistance to pilling and abrasion than single yarns of equivalent count. For woven fabrics used in apparel or home textiles requiring durability, the additional twisting steps justify the higher processing cost. The construction choice is typically specified in the buyer's yarn technical sheet and should be reflected in the import documentation.
Indonesia and India are not US free-trade-agreement partners, so imports from both origins enter under the standard column 1 (MFN) duty rate. Importers should verify whether any antidumping or countervailing duty orders are active for artificial staple fiber yarns from these origins by consulting the USITC's active order database before finalizing purchase contracts.
