Last updated: April 2026 dataMetallic woven fabrics — constructed from metal thread, yarn, or strip — occupy a specialized niche in apparel trimmings, decorative furnishing textiles, and ceremonial dress. Classification hinges on whether the metal element is the primary constituent or an interwoven accent, a distinction that affects both the applicable HTS heading and any applicable Section 301 exposure for fabrics sourced from certain origins. Buyers should confirm fiber composition documentation, as customs may require laboratory analysis to verify metal content ratios for correct tariff treatment.

Classification depends on the essential character of the fabric — specifically whether the metal thread or strip constitutes the chief weight or value. CBP may require a laboratory fiber analysis report; importers should obtain mill certificates stating the percentage by weight of each fiber component before entry.
Depending on the country of origin, metallic woven fabrics may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the applicable tariff action for the specific origin at the time of entry, as coverage and rates can change.
