Last updated: April 2026 dataTextile wadding — including batting used in quilting, padding, and insulation — along with flock (fibers not exceeding 5 mm), textile dust, and mill neps form a functionally diverse group of fibrous materials serving apparel, furniture, automotive, and industrial end-uses. Flock in particular is widely used in surface-coating applications and flocked fabric production. Classification hinges on fiber type and form: loose flock, wadding in rolls, and articles made from wadding each carry distinct tariff treatment.

Flock consists of textile fibers cut or ground to 5 mm or less in length, used primarily for surface coating or stuffing. Wadding is a layered or matted fibrous material in sheet or roll form used for padding and insulation. The physical form and fiber length are the key distinguishing criteria.
Quilting and bedding manufacturers consume the largest volumes of wadding, while flock is heavily used in automotive interior trim, flocked wallpaper, and decorative fabric production. Industrial filtration and acoustic insulation are additional end-use sectors.
