SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of woven synthetic staple fiber fabric, nes, mixed mainly with cotton, not over 170 g/m² (SITC 65332) totaled $22K in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Woven Synthetic Staple Fiber Fabric, NES, Mixed Mainly with Cotton, Not Over 170 g/m² imports of $22K in April 2026 ran 56% below the year-to-date monthly average of $50K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLightweight woven fabrics where a non-polyester, non-acrylic synthetic staple fiber is blended mainly with cotton — at under 85% synthetic content and no more than 170 g/m² — represent the residual blended-staple category at this weight tier. Polypropylene-cotton and other specialty synthetic-cotton constructions used in lightweight apparel and home textiles are the most likely candidates. Three independent parameters — fiber type (NES synthetic), blend ratio (under 85% synthetic, mainly cotton), and fabric weight (≤170 g/m²) — must all be confirmed before this classification applies, making laboratory documentation particularly important. As with related poly-cotton headings, Section 301 tariff applicability should be assessed based on country of origin.

The sole distinction is the synthetic fiber type: SITC 65331 applies specifically to polyester staple fiber blended mainly with cotton, while SITC 65332 covers all other (NES) synthetic staple fibers — such as polypropylene — blended mainly with cotton at the same weight and blend-ratio parameters. If the synthetic component is polyester, 65331 applies; if it is any other synthetic staple fiber not covered by a more specific heading, 65332 is correct.
Yes — the 170 g/m² ceiling is a hard classification boundary. A fabric exceeding that weight, even marginally, would need to be classified under a different SITC heading covering heavier blended synthetic staple fiber fabrics. Importers should obtain GSM test results before entry to avoid misclassification, particularly for fabrics produced near the weight threshold where manufacturing variation could push individual lots above or below 170 g/m².
