About HS Code 580137

This HS code identifies woven pile fabrics made from man-made fibers where the pile is formed by warp threads. This includes synthetic velvets or plush fabrics created using a warp-pile weaving technique. These fabrics are highly regarded for their resilience, luxurious feel, and often superior drape compared to weft pile synthetics. They are traded globally for high-end upholstery, automotive interiors, and specialized apparel where durability, aesthetic appeal, and performance are paramount. Importers include luxury furniture brands, automotive manufacturers, and designers seeking advanced textile solutions. Exporters are often technologically advanced textile mills. Key trade considerations include the specific synthetic fiber used, pile density, abrasion resistance, and compliance with industry-specific performance standards.

Products Under This Code

Polyester warp velvet, nylon warp plush, acrylic warp pile upholstery, synthetic frieze fabric (warp pile), high-performance synthetic warp pile, modacrylic warp pile

Real World Examples

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with weft pile synthetic fabrics (580131, 580133) as the final appearance might be similar, but the fundamental difference lies in the warp-pile weaving technique, which is critical for classification.
