Polyester Chenille Upholstery Fabric from China
This is a woven chenille fabric made from man-made polyester fibers with chenille yarns exclusively on one side, creating a soft, velvety pile surface ideal for upholstery. It falls under HTS 5801.36.0010 as it meets the criteria for chenille fabrics of man-made fibers with pile on one side only, excluding those of headings 5802 or 5806. Commonly used for sofa and chair coverings due to its plush texture.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% man-made (e.g
• polyester) via lab tests to confirm classification under 5801.36; natural fiber blends shift to other headings
• Provide mill certificates and weave structure documentation proving chenille yarns are on one side only to avoid reclassification as two-sided pile
