Classification of acrylic blend fabric under HS 5515.29
Acrylic blend fabric, specifically woven, is classified under HS code 551529. This code falls within Chapter 55 of the Harmonized System, which is dedicated to man-made staple fibers. Heading 5515 covers woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers. The subheading 551529 is designated for "Fabrics, woven; of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres n.e.c. in chapter 55, mixed mainly or solely with fibres n.e.c. in item no. 5515.2." This classification applies to woven fabrics where acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers constitute the predominant weight component, and they are blended with other fibers that do not have a more specific subheading within 5515.2. This ensures appropriate categorization for diverse acrylic-based blended textiles.

Codes often confused with 5515.29
Common mistake. Acrylic blend fabric (551529) can be misclassified with other specific acrylic blends or non-blended fabrics. HS code 551521 is specifically for "Fabrics, woven; of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair." If the blend is predominantly with cotton, HS code 551522, "Fabrics, woven; of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton," would be more appropriate. The "n.e.c." (not elsewhere specified) clause in 551529 is crucial; it means this code is a residual category for acrylic blends not covered by more specific subheadings within 5515.2. Careful identification of the blending fiber and its proportion is essential for accurate classification.

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).
