Section XI: Textiles and Textile Articles

Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibers

Chapter 55 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers Man-made staple fibers and sits within Section XI: Textiles and Textile Articles.

About Chapter 55

Chapter 55 contains 399 10-digit statistical lines grouped under 15 4-digit headings. Brokers, importers, and customs counsel use these codes to declare man-made staple fibers on entry summaries (CBP Form 7501) and to look up the applicable Column 1, Special, and Column 2 duty rates.

General (Column 1) duty rates for ad-valorem lines in Chapter 55 range from 4.3% to 14.9%, with a median of 9.7%. About 1% of the chapter's lines (3 of 399) enter duty-free under the general rate. Special-program rates (USMCA, KORUS, GSP, AGOA, and others) and Chapter 99 overlays modify these base rates for qualifying shipments.

Every code page links into the Tandom Tariff Calculator with the HTS code prefilled, so you can compute the full landed duty for a specific shipment by entering value, country of origin, and (where relevant) material content or date of entry. Tandom's data refreshes daily from USITC HTSUS, CBP CSMS, the Federal Register, and the Department of Commerce — the same authoritative sources the trade community files against.

Frequently asked questions

What does HTS Chapter 55 cover?

Chapter 55 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) covers Man-made staple fibers. It sits within Section XI: Textiles and Textile Articles. Tandom's catalog lists all 399 10-digit statistical lines and 15 4-digit headings in this chapter.

What is the typical U.S. duty rate for Chapter 55 imports?

General (Column 1) duty rates for ad-valorem lines range from 4.3% to 14.9% (median 9.7%); roughly 5% of lines enter duty-free. Use the calculator linked from each code page to compute the full landed rate, including Section 301/232 overlays, IEEPA tariffs, and AD/CVD deposits where applicable.

Are Section 301 or Section 232 tariffs applied to Chapter 55 products?

Section 301 (China) and Section 232 (steel, aluminum, copper) tariffs are layered on top of the base HTSUS rate via Chapter 99 provisions. Whether they apply to a specific 10-digit line in Chapter 55 depends on the product's country of origin, material content, and the active proclamation. Open any code in this chapter to see the live overlay stack and effective rate.

Are there antidumping or countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders covering Chapter 55 products?

AD/CVD orders are issued at the case level by the Department of Commerce against specific products from specific countries. Tandom's AD/CVD catalog cross-references every active order to the HTS codes it covers — open any code in Chapter 55 to see flagged orders, deposit rates, and the underlying scope determinations.
