Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the residual category within the artificial staple fiber blend fabric group, this heading captures flat-woven goods where the secondary fiber component is neither cotton, wool, fine animal hair, nor manmade filaments—examples might include linen, ramie, or other natural fibers not elsewhere specified. The 'not elsewhere specified' (NES) designation means importers must first confirm that the blend does not qualify under the more specific cotton, wool, or filament headings before defaulting to this classification. Correct assignment requires detailed fiber-by-weight analysis and knowledge of which secondary fibers trigger the NES rule. Pile, chenille, and narrow fabrics remain excluded.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Secondary fibers such as linen, ramie, jute, or other natural fibers not classified as cotton, wool, or fine animal hair would direct a fabric to this NES heading, provided artificial staple fibers remain the dominant component by weight (under 85%). The NES designation is a classification of last resort—importers should verify that no more specific heading applies before using it.
When secondary fibers are present in roughly equal proportions, the classification follows the fiber that is greatest in weight among the secondary components. If that fiber is not cotton, wool/fine hair, or manmade filaments, the NES heading applies. Detailed fiber content testing and a written classification rationale are advisable to support the entry in the event of a customs query.
