Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If weighing not more than 25 g/m²
Lighter nonwovens shift to the subheading for weights 25 g/m² or less, based on precise grammage measurement.
If completely coated or covered on both sides with plastics visible to the naked eye
Chapter notes exclude such heavily coated nonwovens from heading 5603, moving them to Chapter 39 for plastic sheets.
If weighing more than 70 g/m²
Heavier nonwovens exceed the weight limit of 5603.92 and classify under the subheading for over 70 g/m².

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact weight per square meter with lab testing to confirm classification within 25-70 g/m² range and avoid reclassification to lighter or heavier subheadings
• Provide detailed composition certificates showing polyolefin content over 85% to distinguish from coated products potentially shifting to Chapter 39
• Ensure nonwovens are not fully embedded or coated on both sides with plastics visible to the naked eye to prevent exclusion from Chapter 56
