Woven Fabrics of Synthetic Staple Fibers, Under 85%, Mixed Mainly with Manmade Filaments imports of $2.0M in April 2026 ran 13% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFabrics woven from a combination of synthetic staple fibers (under 85% by weight) and manmade filaments as the primary secondary component — such as polyester staple blended with nylon or viscose filament — occupy a technically specific classification niche driven by the filament-versus-staple distinction. The interplay between staple and filament components affects fabric hand, drape, and surface texture, making these constructions popular in performance apparel, linings, and technical textile applications. Importers must carefully document both the fiber type and the physical form (staple vs. filament) of each component, as customs classification turns on this distinction.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Staple fibers are cut to short lengths and spun into yarn, while filaments are continuous strands used directly or twisted into filament yarn. This physical distinction — not the chemical composition — determines which heading applies, and a fabric blending, say, polyester staple with nylon filament yarn would fall here rather than in a pure-staple or pure-filament heading.
These blended constructions appear frequently in performance sportswear linings, dress fabrics requiring a silky drape, and lightweight technical textiles where the filament component adds luster or strength while the staple fiber contributes bulk and softness. The specific performance profile depends heavily on the filament type and weave structure.
