What HS 5801.26 covers
This HS code specifically covers chenille fabrics made from cotton. Chenille fabrics are distinctive due to their soft, fuzzy surface, which is created by using chenille yarns – yarns that have a pile protruding all around. This unique construction gives the fabric a luxurious feel and appearance, making it highly sought after in upholstery, throws, decorative pillows, and certain types of apparel. Importers include furniture manufacturers, home decor brands, and specialty apparel makers who value the texture and natural fiber properties of cotton chenille. Exporters are textile mills with specialized equipment for producing chenille yarns and weaving them into fabric. Key trade aspects include yarn quality, pile density, and the fabric's durability and drape.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
