Importers of Yarn of Jute or Other Textile Bast Fibers (Excluding Flax, Hemp, and Ramie) paid $14K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $107K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataJute yarn and yarn from related bast fibers such as kenaf and sunn hemp occupy a distinct segment of the natural fiber market, serving packaging, geotextile, and home furnishing applications where biodegradability and low cost are priorities. The explicit exclusion of flax, true hemp, and ramie from this heading is a classification boundary that importers must observe carefully, as those fibers have their own headings. Bangladesh and India are the dominant global suppliers of jute yarn, reflecting the geographic concentration of jute cultivation and processing in the Bengal region.

Basic heading 65197 · $142K of $26.7B
Flax yarn, true hemp yarn, and ramie yarn are all excluded from this heading and classified under their own respective SITC and HTS headings. Importers dealing in blended bast fiber yarns should determine the predominant fiber by weight to establish the correct classification, as the heading is defined by the primary fiber type.
The primary end uses for imported jute yarn in the US include carpet backing (where jute is woven into primary and secondary backing), geotextiles for erosion control, agricultural twine, and decorative home furnishing fabrics. Growing consumer interest in sustainable and biodegradable materials has also supported demand in craft and packaging applications.
