U.S. imports of Woven Fabrics of Jute or Other Textile Bast Fibers (SITC 65450) totaled $4.1M in August 2026, imported from 27 countries.
Importers of Woven Fabrics of Jute or Other Textile Bast Fibers paid $478K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.68% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Woven Fabrics of Jute or Other Textile Bast Fibers imports of $4.1M in August 2026 ran 21% above the year-to-date monthly average of $3.4M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataJute and allied bast fiber woven fabrics — including kenaf, hemp, and similar plant-stem fibers processed into cloth — are foundational inputs for burlap sacking, geotextiles, carpet backing, and agricultural packaging, where low cost and biodegradability outweigh tensile refinement. Jute weaving is heavily concentrated in South Asia, and supply chain disruptions in that region can ripple quickly through packaging and flooring industries that depend on this commodity. Narrow and special fabrics are excluded from this heading, and importers should confirm fabric width against applicable tariff definitions.

In addition to jute (Corchorus species), this heading covers woven fabrics of other textile bast fibers including kenaf, hemp (when classified as a textile bast fiber), roselle, and similar plant-stem fibers. The key criterion is that the fiber derives from the bast (inner bark) of the plant and is used in textile applications — industrial hemp fabric, for example, may fall here depending on processing and end-use context.
Jute woven fabrics used as geotextiles for erosion control or soil stabilization are generally classified by their material composition at this heading rather than by end use, since the tariff schedule classifies textiles by fiber and construction. However, if the fabric has been processed or coated in a way that changes its essential character, reclassification to a technical textile heading may be appropriate — a binding ruling from CBP can clarify borderline cases.
