Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. imports of Woven Polyester Textured Filament Fabric (≥85% by Weight) (SITC 65315) totaled $9.8M in August 2026, imported from 49 countries.
Importers of Woven Polyester Textured Filament Fabric (≥85% by Weight) paid $1.9M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 19.89% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Woven Polyester Textured Filament Fabric (≥85% by Weight) imports of $9.8M in August 2026 ran 22% above the year-to-date monthly average of $8.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataTextured polyester filament yarns give this fabric its characteristic bulk, stretch-recovery, and surface texture, distinguishing it from flat-filament constructions at the same fiber content threshold. At 85% or more textured polyester filament by weight, the fabric falls into a specific SITC classification that excludes pile, chenille, and narrow fabrics — a distinction that matters when classifying performance apparel, lining materials, and technical textile substrates. Section 301 tariff exposure is a recurring compliance consideration for importers sourcing from major Asian suppliers. Buyers should confirm fiber-content test reports align with the 85% threshold, as minor blending can shift classification.

Textured filaments have been mechanically or thermally processed (e.g., false-twist, air-jet, or stuffer-box texturing) to introduce crimp, loops, or coils, giving the yarn bulk and stretch. Non-textured (flat) filaments retain a smooth, parallel structure. The distinction is critical because SITC 65315 covers textured constructions while 65316 covers non-textured ones at the same ≥85% polyester threshold — and the two may carry different duty treatment at the HTS level.
Importers should obtain a laboratory fiber-content analysis (typically per AATCC or ISO test methods) confirming that textured polyester filament constitutes at least 85% of the fabric's total weight. Mill certificates, weave specifications, and country-of-origin documentation should accompany the entry to support classification and any applicable trade-remedy review.
