Chapter 55: Man-Made Staple Fibers
Chapter 55 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) focuses on man-made staple fibers, which are synthetic fibers produced through various manufacturing processes. This chapter includes product categories such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic fibers, which are essential in creating a wide range of textiles. Common examples of products falling under this chapter include polyester staple fiber used in clothing, nylon fibers utilized in outdoor gear, and acrylic fibers found in carpets and upholstery. Industries that frequently import these man-made staple fibers include apparel, automotive textiles, home furnishings, and industrial fabrics. Importers should be aware of regulatory considerations, such as compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) labeling requirements, which mandate accurate fiber content disclosures, and potential tariffs that may apply depending on the country of origin. Being informed about these aspects is crucial for business owners and importers to ensure smooth transactions and adherence to U.S. customs regulations while capitalizing on the demand for synthetic textiles in the market.
