Total Effective Rate

Man-Made Filaments from Japan represent an important segment of bilateral trade, with approximately $218B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for man-made filaments from Japan reflects the post-SCOTUS landscape: a 10% Section 122 tariff replaced the previously higher IEEPA rates after the Court's February 2026 ruling.

The Section 122 tariff is subject to a 150-day statutory time limit and is set to expire approximately July 24, 2026, unless Congress acts to extend or replace it. Importers should monitor legislative developments closely as this deadline approaches.

Man-Made Filaments (HTS Chapter 54) carry an average MFN duty rate of 8% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Japan.

Key products in HTS Chapter 54 imported from Japan include Polyester filament yarn, Nylon filament yarn, Rayon filament fabric, Polypropylene yarn, Synthetic sewing thread, and Woven polyester fabric.
