U.S. imports of Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers, 85% or More by Weight (SITC 65360) totaled $1.0M in August 2026, imported from 27 countries.
Importers of Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers, 85% or More by Weight paid $187K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 18.21% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Woven Fabrics of Artificial Staple Fibers, 85% or More by Weight imports of $1.0M in August 2026 ran 52% above the year-to-date monthly average of $682K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFlat broad woven fabrics in which artificial staple fibers — most commonly viscose rayon staple, modal, or lyocell staple — account for at least 85% of total weight are classified here, serving apparel, home textile, and industrial markets where the softness and moisture-absorption properties of regenerated cellulosic fibers are valued. The 85% minimum content requirement is the defining classification criterion, and fabrics falling below this threshold shift to headings covering blended artificial-staple constructions. Pile, chenille, narrow, and special fabrics are excluded, keeping this heading focused on conventional flat woven goods.

Viscose rayon staple is the most widely traded fiber in this category, followed by modal and lyocell (Tencel) staple. All three are regenerated cellulosic fibers, but they differ in processing method and performance characteristics — lyocell, for example, is produced via a closed-loop solvent process and commands a premium in sustainability-focused supply chains.
Viscose can be produced as either continuous filament yarn or as cut staple fiber, and the physical form determines the heading: filament-based viscose wovens at 85% or more fall under the artificial filament heading, while staple-based viscose wovens at 85% or more belong here. Fiber form — not chemical identity — is the controlling classification factor.
