SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers (under 85%), mixed mainly with manmade filaments (SITC 65383) totaled $474K in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers (Under 85%), Mixed Mainly with Manmade Filaments paid $92K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $460K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCombining artificial staple fibers with manmade filaments—such as polyester or nylon filament yarns—produces fabrics with distinct texture and performance characteristics suited to activewear, linings, and technical textiles. In this heading, the artificial staple fiber component is the largest single fiber by weight but falls below 85%, and manmade filaments form the dominant secondary component. The staple-versus-filament distinction is a recurring classification challenge, as both components are manmade but processed differently, and customs authorities may request detailed yarn construction documentation. Pile, chenille, and narrow fabric constructions are excluded from this heading.

Yarn analysis reports specifying fiber type (staple vs. filament), fiber content by weight percentage, and fiber identification (e.g., viscose staple vs. polyester filament) are the standard supporting documents. Manufacturers' fiber content certifications and laboratory test reports are commonly requested by customs authorities to confirm the blend composition and correct heading assignment.
The Harmonized System and SITC both treat artificial staple fibers and manmade filaments as distinct categories, each with their own heading hierarchies. A fabric where manmade filaments predominate by weight would be classified under a filament-dominant heading rather than here, potentially carrying a different duty rate. Accurate identification of the dominant fiber type by weight is therefore critical to correct classification.
