SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of viscose rayon yarn, n.e.s., single, low-twist (≤120 turns/meter, bulk) (SITC 65174) totaled $6.7M in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Importers of Viscose Rayon Yarn, N.E.S., Single, Low-Twist (≤120 Turns/Meter, Bulk) paid $1.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $6.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Viscose Rayon Yarn, N.E.S., Single, Low-Twist (≤120 Turns/Meter, Bulk) imports of $6.7M in April 2026 ran 25% above the year-to-date monthly average of $5.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataStandard-grade viscose rayon single filament yarn with a twist not exceeding 120 turns per meter is a workhorse input for woven apparel fabrics, linings, and home textiles, prized for its silk-like luster, drape, and moisture absorption. SITC 65174 is the NES residual for viscose rayon yarn that is neither high-tenacity (65173) nor packaged for retail, and the 120 t/m twist ceiling distinguishes it from higher-twist constructions used in crepe-effect fabrics. As with other artificial filament yarns, fiber content documentation is essential because viscose rayon is frequently blended or confused with synthetic alternatives at the point of customs examination.

The twist threshold for viscose rayon single yarn (120 t/m) is higher than the 50 t/m threshold used for synthetic filament yarn NES categories (65163/65164). This reflects differences in how twist affects the physical properties of cellulosic versus synthetic filaments. Importers should be careful not to apply the synthetic yarn twist thresholds to rayon products — the applicable threshold is fiber-type specific and is defined in the relevant tariff schedule notes.
A manufacturer's fiber composition certificate confirming regenerated cellulose (viscose) content, a technical data sheet specifying denier, filament count, and twist level (in t/m), and a commercial invoice clearly stating the yarn is single-ply, not sewing thread, and not packaged for retail are the core documents. If the yarn's twist level is near the 120 t/m boundary, an independent laboratory twist test report (per ASTM D1423 or ISO 2061) provides additional protection against reclassification.
