Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If weighing 150 g/m² or less
Lighter nonwovens of man-made filaments fall under the lower weight subheading in the same 5603.14 group.
If nonwoven is completely embedded in plastics
Per Chapter 56 note (c), products where textile is merely reinforcing and fully embedded go to Chapter 39 plastics.
If textile base is woven rather than nonwoven
Laminated woven man-made fabrics are classified in Chapter 59, not nonwovens in Chapter 56.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the fabric weight exceeds 150 g/m² and lamination is visible to the naked eye to avoid reclassification under Chapter 39
• Provide lab test reports confirming man-made filament composition and nonwoven structure for smooth CBP review
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from rubber-laminated versions, which may shift to Chapter 40 if bonding substance
