U.S. imports of yarn of <85% synthetic staple fibers (not sewing thread), not packaged for retail sale (SITC 65184) totaled $2.1M in April 2026, traded with 27 countries.
Importers of Yarn of <85% Synthetic Staple Fibers (Not Sewing Thread), Not Packaged for Retail Sale paid $143K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 25% on $586K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBulk industrial yarn containing synthetic staple fibers at less than 85% by weight — blends such as polyester-cotton, acrylic-wool, or nylon-viscose on industrial packages — serves weaving mills, knitting operations, and technical fabric producers. The sub-85% synthetic threshold places these blends in a distinct classification tier from high-synthetic yarns, and the non-retail packaging confirms industrial end-use. Accurate fiber-ratio documentation is especially important here because small compositional differences can shift a shipment between multiple headings with different duty rates.

The 85% threshold is a hard compositional line: yarns at or above 85% synthetic staple fiber by weight classify under 65182, while those below fall here. For mill buyers, this affects duty rates and potentially Section 301 exposure, so fiber-ratio certificates from the spinner are essential for correct entry.
When fiber content is near the 85% threshold, importers should obtain an independent laboratory analysis of the yarn's fiber composition before filing the entry. Declaring a ratio without lab support risks a CBP reclassification, back-duty assessment, and potential penalties. A licensed customs broker can advise on the appropriate protective measures.
