Alternative Classifications

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

5602.90Lower: 18% vs 35%

If qualifying as felt via needleloom process

Chapter note defines needleloom felt as within 5602, separate from nonwovens in 5603.

4008.21.00.00Same rate: 35%

If laminated with rubber where textile is <=50% or embedded

Exclusions for felt/nonwovens embedded in or low-textile rubber go to Chapter 40.

5407.61.99Higher: 49.9% vs 35%

If woven from filaments rather than nonwoven

Woven fabrics of filaments classify in Chapter 54, not nonwovens of Chapter 56.
