Last updated: April 2026 dataTextile fabrics treated with coatings or impregnants not covered by more specific headings — including painted theatrical scenery canvas and studio back-cloths — fall into this residual category, which functions as a catch-all for specialty-treated fabrics. The theatrical and studio canvas segment is niche but commercially distinct, used by film studios, theater companies, and event producers who require large-format painted backdrops on a durable textile base. Classification here requires ruling out all more specific coated-fabric headings first, making a systematic exclusion analysis essential before assigning this code.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This heading applies only after more specific headings for gum-coated, plastic-laminated, and rubberized fabrics have been ruled out. The coating or impregnant must be something other than gum, starch, plastic, or rubber — for example, metallic, wax, or other specialty treatments — or the article must be a painted theatrical or studio canvas specifically described here.
Painted theatrical canvases are classified as industrial textile goods and do not require food, drug, or agricultural agency clearance. However, if the canvas incorporates any restricted pigments or coatings (such as lead-based paints), CPSC or EPA regulations may apply depending on the end use. Standard commercial invoice and packing list documentation is typically sufficient for customs entry.
