Imitation Suede Nonwoven Fabric from China
Imitation suede nonwoven fabric is made from man-made filaments, weighing 40 g/m², and impregnated with polyurethane to mimic the texture and appearance of genuine suede leather. It falls under tariff item 5603.12.00 due to its weight range (more than 25 g/m² but not more than 70 g/m²) and man-made filament construction. The polyurethane impregnation is not considered a plastics or rubber coating for classification.

Import Tips
• Verify the polyurethane impregnation is not visible plastics or rubber, which would change classification to Chapter 39 or 40
• Provide the weight per square metre (40 g/m²) in commercial documents
• If the fabric is cut to size, check whether it is 'made up' under Section XI Note 7
