A minimum 85% nylon or polyamide filament content by weight is the defining threshold for SITC 65314, separating these fabrics from blended manmade constructions where polyamide is a minority fiber. Nylon-dominant woven fabrics at this concentration level are commercially significant in activewear, swimwear linings, hosiery base cloth, and lightweight outerwear, where the fiber's elasticity, abrasion resistance, and moisture-wicking properties are primary selection criteria. Pile, chenille, narrow, and special fabric constructions are excluded from this heading, as are fabrics made from high-tenacity nylon yarn (which fall under SITC 65311). Section 301 tariffs have affected imports of certain synthetic woven fabrics from China, making origin and fiber-content documentation critical for this category.

If nylon or polyamide filaments constitute at least 85% of the fabric's weight, the fabric falls into 65314. If the polyamide content drops below 85%, the fabric is classified based on the chief-weight fiber, which may shift it to a different heading entirely. Laboratory fiber analysis is the standard method for establishing the percentage, and importers should retain test certificates to support the declared classification.
Fabrics woven from high-tenacity nylon or polyamide yarn are classified under SITC 65311 regardless of fiber content percentage. Importers of nylon fabrics intended for technical or industrial applications — such as ballistic or parachute cloth — must confirm whether the yarn meets the high-tenacity specification, because using that yarn type moves the fabric out of 65314 and into 65311, which may carry a different duty rate.
