About HS Code 580136

This category covers chenille fabrics made from man-made fibers such as polyester, acrylic, or rayon. Man-made chenille is highly valued in international trade for its excellent durability, resistance to fading, and wide range of colors, often at a more accessible price point than natural fiber chenille. The distinctive fuzzy texture, created by chenille yarns, makes it a popular choice for upholstery, decorative throws, and some apparel, appealing to both residential and commercial markets. Importers include furniture manufacturers, home decor retailers, and contract textile buyers. Exporters are textile mills with specialized capabilities in producing and weaving synthetic chenille yarns. Key trade aspects include yarn quality, pile density, and the fabric's performance characteristics like pilling resistance.
