Importers of Textured Polyester Filament Yarn (Non-Sewing Thread, Bulk) paid $1.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $6.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTextured polyester filament yarn is one of the most widely traded synthetic textile inputs globally, serving as a primary feedstock for woven and knitted fabrics in apparel, upholstery, and geotextile applications. The bulk (non-retail) form under SITC 65152 is an industrial intermediate, and its classification is distinct from sewing thread and from non-textured polyester yarn — differences that carry real duty consequences. Importers should be aware that polyester yarn from several major producing countries is subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification and country-of-origin documentation essential at entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Textured polyester yarn (often called DTY — draw-textured yarn) has been processed to introduce crimp, bulk, or stretch, giving fabrics softness and elasticity. Non-textured (flat) polyester yarn lacks these characteristics and falls under a different SITC/HTS heading. Because the two forms carry different duty rates and may face different trade-remedy exposure, accurate identification — supported by technical data sheets from the mill — is essential for correct entry.
Key documents include the mill's technical data sheet specifying denier, filament count, twist level, and texturing method; a commercial invoice clearly stating the yarn is not sewing thread and is not packaged for retail; and a certificate of origin. If the yarn originates from a country subject to Section 301 or antidumping orders, additional country-of-origin evidence (e.g., production records) may be requested by CBP.
