U.S. imports of woven fabrics from high-tenacity nylon, polyamide, or polyester yarn (SITC 65311) totaled $2.6M in April 2026, traded with 44 countries.
Importers of Woven Fabrics from High-Tenacity Nylon, Polyamide, or Polyester Yarn paid $587K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 23% on $2.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHigh-tenacity nylon, polyamide, and polyester yarns are engineered for tensile strength well above standard textile grades, and woven fabrics made from them — classified under SITC 65311 — serve demanding end uses including ballistic panels, industrial webbing, parachute cloth, and heavy-duty luggage shell fabric. The 'other than pile or chenille and narrow or special fabrics' exclusion in the description is a meaningful scope boundary: pile constructions and narrow woven goods fall into separate headings regardless of yarn type. Section 301 tariffs have applied to certain synthetic woven fabrics of Chinese origin, making origin documentation and country-of-origin determination particularly important for this category.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
High-tenacity yarns are defined by a minimum breaking tenacity threshold — typically expressed in centinewtons per tex — that is significantly above that of regular textile-grade yarn. Importers should obtain yarn specification sheets from the manufacturer confirming the tenacity rating, as CBP may request this data to verify that the fabric qualifies for the high-tenacity heading rather than a standard synthetic woven fabric category.
Certain synthetic woven fabrics originating from China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current status of any applicable Section 301 lists and confirm the country of origin of both the yarn and the finished fabric, as origin rules for textiles can require substantial transformation analysis.
