Weight threshold determines subheading within 5603; lighter nonwovens shift to 5603.12.
If coated for textile impregnation and sold as finished painted/coated fabric
Impregnated/coated textiles for specific uses like printing move to heading 5907.
If woven from man-made filaments instead of nonwoven
Woven fabrics of synthetic filaments >170 g/m² classify under Chapter 54, not nonwovens in 5603.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include grammage certificates showing >150 g/m² to differentiate from lighter interlinings in 5603.13
• Specify coating agent (e.g
• non-plastic resins) in invoices to comply with 'other than plastics/rubber' requirement
• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial parts; retail-ready rolls prevent reclass to Chapter 59
