US Tariffs on Impregnated Textile Fabrics from China — 35% (2026)

China is a significant source of impregnated textile fabrics imports into the United States, with approximately $575B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of impregnated textile fabrics from China are now subject to a 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026.

This 10% rate has a built-in expiration: Section 122 limits presidential tariff authority to 150 days, meaning the tariff expires approximately July 24, 2026 without congressional renewal.

Impregnated Textile Fabrics from China are also subject to Section 301 tariffs, which range from 25% to 100% depending on the specific product classification. Section 301 tariffs were not affected by the Supreme Court ruling and remain in full effect. Combined with the Section 122 base rate, importers may face effective rates of 35% or more.

Key products in HTS Chapter 59 imported from China include Coated fabrics, Tire cord fabric, Textile transmission belts, Textile hose piping, Laminated fabrics, and Rubberized fabrics.
