Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 560290 when importing or exporting felt products that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated. For example, if you're shipping a roll of laminated felt used for automotive insulation, this code applies.
This code specifically covers felt that has been treated in some way, distinguishing it from untreated or non-laminated felt products classified under HS-6 560211. If you have a shipment of untreated felt, you would need to use that code instead.
Felt under this classification can include items like laminated felt sheets used in construction or automotive applications, as well as felt used in soundproofing materials. It's important to note that felt products that are needleloom felt or stitch-bonded are excluded from this subheading.
When considering your shipment, check if your felt products are indeed impregnated or coated. If they are simply made of felt without any treatment, you might need to look at other classifications.
