Products classified under HTS 5603.93.00.90
Polypropylene Spunbond Nonwoven Fabric 100 g/m²
This spunbond nonwoven fabric made from polypropylene weighs 100 g/m² and is used for disposable medical gowns and protective covers. It falls under HTS 5603.93.00.90 as a nonwoven textile material weighing more than 70 g/m² but not more than 150 g/m², without plastic or rubber impregnation visible to the naked eye. The material's structure relies on mechanical bonding rather than weaving or knitting.
SMS Nonwoven Fabric 120 g/m² for Surgical Drapes
SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) nonwoven fabric at 120 g/m² provides bacterial barrier properties for surgical drapes and gowns. Classified in HTS 5603.93.00.90 due to its nonwoven construction and weight between 70-150 g/m², with bonding not relying on plastics as the primary substance. It meets chapter definitions for nonwovens enhanced by mechanical or thermal processes.
Needlepunch Polyester Nonwoven 90 g/m² for Automotive Insulation
Needlepunch nonwoven from polyester fibers, weighing 90 g/m², used for car door panels and trunk liners. It qualifies under HTS 5603.93.00.90 as a nonwoven fabric in the specified weight range, with cohesion from needleloom felting process as per chapter notes. No plastics impregnation affects its textile classification.
Cellulose Nonwoven Wipe Sheet 110 g/m²
Nonwoven sheets from wood pulp cellulose weighing 110 g/m², designed for industrial cleaning wipes. HTS 5603.93.00.90 applies as 'other' nonwovens in the 70-150 g/m² range, encompassing man-made or natural fiber nonwovens without disqualifying coatings. Cohesion enhanced by airlaying or similar processes.
Bicomponent Fiber Nonwoven 130 g/m² for Filtration
Thermal-bonded bicomponent fiber nonwoven at 130 g/m² for air and liquid filtration media. Falls under HTS 5603.93.00.90 as other nonwovens 70-150 g/m², where fibers are synthetic with core-sheath structure for bonding without external plastics. Complies with chapter notes excluding only fully embedded materials.
PE-Laminated Freezer Paper Nonwoven Base 80 g/m²
Nonwoven fabric base at 80 g/m² lightly laminated with thin PE film for freezer paper used in meat wrapping.
