Last updated: April 2026 dataTufted woven fabrics — where yarn loops or cut pile are mechanically inserted into a woven base cloth — are widely used in upholstery, floor covering underlays, and decorative home textiles. Unlike tufted carpets (which have their own classification), this heading captures tufted fabrics that remain in flat goods form and are not narrow or otherwise specially classified. The tufting process and base fabric construction are both relevant to classification, and importers should be prepared to provide technical specifications distinguishing the product from woven pile fabrics produced by other methods.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
In a tufted fabric, the pile yarn is mechanically needled through a pre-existing woven base cloth and anchored with a backing, whereas in a true woven pile fabric the pile is formed integrally during the weaving process. Customs may request a cross-section sample or technical production description to confirm the construction method, particularly when the surface appearance of the two fabric types is similar.
Tufted textile fabrics from certain origins may be subject to Section 301 tariffs or antidumping/countervailing duty orders depending on the country of manufacture. Importers should check the current CBP and USITC databases for any active orders covering the specific fiber composition and country of origin before filing entry.
