Artificial Monofilament (≥67 Decitex) and Narrow Artificial Textile Strip (≤5 mm) imports of $3K in April 2026 ran 97% below the year-to-date monthly average of $123K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTwo distinct product forms share this heading: heavy artificial monofilaments of 67 decitex or more with a cross-section not exceeding 1 mm, and flat artificial textile strips or straw no wider than 5 mm — both made from regenerated-cellulose polymers. The decitex threshold and dimensional limits are hard classification boundaries; a monofilament below 67 decitex or a strip wider than 5 mm falls outside this heading entirely. These forms are used in specialty weaving, basket-making substrates, and certain technical filtration or packaging applications where a flat or round continuous element is preferred over spun staple yarn.

CBP may request laboratory testing of linear density (mass per 10,000 meters) to confirm the decitex value. Importers should include the manufacturer's technical specification sheet and, for high-value shipments, an independent lab certificate to avoid delays or reclassification.
Artificial textile strip in this size range is used in decorative weaving, hat-making, craft substrates, and some specialty packaging materials. The narrow width limit (≤5 mm) keeps it distinct from broader woven tapes or ribbons, which classify elsewhere.
