Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 5603.14.90
Polypropylene Spunbond Nonwoven Fabric 200 g/m²
A heavy-duty spunbond nonwoven fabric made from polypropylene man-made filaments, weighing 200 g/m², used for industrial packaging and protective covers. It falls under HTS 5603.14.90 as a nonwoven of man-made filaments exceeding 150 g/m², not otherwise specified. This classification applies to uncoated or simply laminated versions without full embedding in plastics.
Automotive Headliner Nonwoven Substrate 180 g/m²
Nonwoven substrate from polyester filaments weighing 180 g/m², used as backing for car interior headliners. Classified in HTS 5603.14.90 for heavy man-made filament nonwovens not specifically enumerated. It qualifies as it's over 150 g/m² and primarily textile-based without disqualifying plastic lamination.
Geotextile Nonwoven Fabric 250 g/m² Polyester
Heavy polyester filament nonwoven geotextile weighing 250 g/m² for soil stabilization and drainage in civil engineering. HTS 5603.14.90 covers this as 'other' nonwovens of man-made filaments over 150 g/m². It's not excluded as it lacks full plastic embedding or visible bilateral coating.
Industrial Filter Nonwoven Media 220 g/m²
Polypropylene filament nonwoven media at 220 g/m² for heavy-duty air and liquid filtration in manufacturing. Falls under HTS 5603.14.90 as other heavy nonwovens of man-made filaments. Classification holds if no disqualifying plastic coating per chapter notes.
Medical Drape Nonwoven Fabric 160 g/m²
Sterilization-resistant nonwoven from polypropylene filaments, 160 g/m², for surgical drapes and gowns. HTS 5603.14.90 applies to this heavy 'other' man-made filament nonwoven. It remains in Chapter 56 as textile material exceeds 50% without full embedding.
Heavy Crop Cover Nonwoven 190 g/m²
Polyester filament nonwoven agricultural fleece weighing 190 g/m² for frost protection and weed suppression. Classified under HTS 5603.14.90 as other nonwovens >150 g/m² of man-made filaments. Not excluded as cohesion is fiber-based, not primarily plastic-bonded.
Insulation Nonwoven Backing 210 g/m²
Thermal insulation nonwoven from bicomponent filaments at 210 g/m² for appliance and building use. HTS 5603.14.90 for heavy man-made filament nonwovens, other. Stays here if not merely reinforcing cellular plastics.
Protective Packaging Nonwoven 175 g/m²
Void-fill and surface protection nonwoven sheets from PP filaments, 175 g/m². Under HTS 5603.14.90 as other >150 g/m² man-made nonwovens. Applies to non-coated versions for logistics.
Battery Separator Nonwoven 155 g/m²
Microporous polyester nonwoven separator fabric 155 g/m² for lithium-ion batteries. HTS 5603.14.90 classifies as heavy other man-made filament nonwoven. Not shifted if textile content >50% without full plastic lamination.
Roofing Underlayment Nonwoven 240 g/m²
Water-resistant polyester filament nonwoven 240 g/m² for roofing membranes. Fits HTS 5603.14.90: other nonwovens >150 g/m² man-made filaments. Remains if coating not naked-eye visible on both sides.
