U.S. imports of woven polyester non-textured filament fabric (≥85% by weight) (SITC 65316) totaled $3.2M in April 2026, traded with 45 countries.

Importers of Woven Polyester Non-Textured Filament Fabric (≥85% by Weight) paid $770K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 26% on $3.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Flat, non-textured polyester filaments produce a smooth, lustrous hand that makes fabrics in this category a staple for linings, dress fabrics, and lightweight technical applications where surface sheen and dimensional stability matter more than bulk. The ≥85% non-textured polyester filament threshold is the defining specification separating this group from its textured counterpart (SITC 65315) and from blended constructions. Pile, chenille, and narrow fabrics are explicitly excluded, so importers must verify construction type before applying this classification. Like most polyester woven fabrics, entries from major producing countries may be subject to Section 301 or antidumping measures depending on origin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a fabric with a satin or twill weave still qualify under this classification if the filaments are non-textured?

Yes — weave structure (plain, twill, satin, etc.) does not determine classification here. The controlling factors are fiber type (polyester), filament character (non-textured/flat), and the ≥85% by-weight threshold. As long as the fabric is not a pile, chenille, or narrow/special fabric, the weave construction is irrelevant to the SITC 65316 classification.

What shifts a non-textured polyester fabric out of this category into a blended-fabric classification?

If non-textured polyester filament accounts for less than 85% of the fabric's total weight — meaning other fibers (cotton, viscose, nylon, etc.) collectively exceed 15% — the fabric moves to a different SITC heading covering blended or mixed-fiber constructions. Accurate fiber-weight testing is therefore essential before filing the entry.
