Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If weighing 25 g/m² or less
Lighter nonwovens of man-made filaments fall under the subheading for weights up to 25 g/m².
If weighing more than 70 g/m²
Heavier nonwovens exceed the 70 g/m² limit and classify in the next weight category.
If completely coated on both sides with plastics visible to the naked eye
Chapter notes exclude nonwovens fully coated or covered on both sides from Chapter 56, moving them to plastics in Chapter 39.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact weight per square meter with lab testing to confirm 25-70 g/m² range and avoid reclassification to lighter or heavier nonwovens
• Provide mill certificates detailing filament composition and production method (e.g
• spunbond) for customs valuation and origin claims
• Watch for inadvertent plastic coatings visible to the naked eye, which could shift to Chapter 39 if covering both sides
