Last updated: April 2026 dataPile and chenille constructions in wool or fine animal hair — velvets, bouclé-pile cloths, and chenille weaves — are carved out of the standard wool fabric headings and classified here regardless of fiber percentage or blend composition, reflecting their distinct surface construction rather than fiber content. These fabrics serve upholstery, luxury outerwear, and decorative textile markets where tactile texture is the primary design driver. Narrow and special fabrics are excluded, so width and construction must be confirmed against applicable tariff definitions before entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Unlike the flat-woven wool fabric headings, this category is defined by construction type — pile or chenille weave — rather than by fiber content percentage. A wool pile fabric with only 50% wool by weight still falls here, not under the blended flat-fabric headings.
Both pile (cut or uncut loop constructions) and chenille (fabrics woven with chenille yarn) are captured within this single heading, so the distinction between them does not affect the SITC classification. However, at the HTS 10-digit level, the specific construction type may determine the applicable tariff line, making accurate technical description on the commercial invoice important.
