Needle-Punched Polyester Carpet Cushion from United States
This needle-punched polyester nonwoven carpet cushion is a stitch-bonded fabric exceeding 150 g/m², used as a cushioning underlay beneath wall-to-wall carpeting. It provides noise reduction and comfort, and its cohesion is enhanced by a stitch-bonding process using fibres from the web itself, qualifying it as felt under Chapter Note 2. It is not impregnated or coated with plastics or rubber, so it falls under this tariff item.
