Last updated: August 2026 dataChenille and cut-pile cotton woven fabrics that do not fall into the terry toweling or uncut-pile categories are captured here as a residual 'not elsewhere specified' heading. Chenille yarns — characterized by their caterpillar-like fuzzy texture — produce fabrics widely used in upholstery, decorative throws, and apparel trims, and their classification separate from standard pile fabrics reflects distinct yarn construction rather than finishing state. Narrow and special fabrics remain excluded. Because this is an NES (residual) heading, importers must confirm that the fabric does not meet the specific criteria of any more precisely defined pile or terry category before applying this code.

Chenille fabric is woven using chenille yarns — yarns with pile fibers projecting radially around a core — rather than being created by cutting or looping warp or weft threads in the fabric itself. This yarn-level distinction is what separates chenille from standard cut-pile or terry constructions in the classification schedule.
A fabric lands in the NES heading only after it has been confirmed that it is neither terry toweling, an uncut pile fabric, nor a narrow or special fabric. Importers should work through the exclusions systematically — and document that analysis — before applying the residual code.
