Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

5603.13.00Same rate: 35%

If weighing 150 g/m² or less

Lighter nonwovens of man-made filaments fall under the subheading for weights up to 150 g/m².

3918.10Lower: 14.2% vs 35%

If completely embedded or fully coated on both sides with plastics, visible to naked eye

Chapter note excludes such heavily coated nonwovens, classifying them as plastic sheets in Chapter 39.

5607.49.30Higher: 38.6% vs 35%

If made of man-made fibers but sold as narrow woven fabric alternative

If processed into narrow widths (<30 cm) and resembling woven, it may classify under plaiting materials.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact weight per m² with lab testing to confirm >150 g/m² classification and avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings

Provide mill certificates showing man-made filament composition (e.g

polypropylene) to prevent disputes over fiber content

Ensure no visible full-side coating with plastics; if present and naked-eye visible, it may shift to Chapter 39
