Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 560392 when importing or exporting nonwoven fabrics that weigh between 25 and 70 grams per square meter and are not made from man-made filaments. For instance, a shipment of disposable medical gowns made from such nonwoven material falls under this code.
This code is specific to nonwovens that are heavier than 25 g/m² but lighter than 70 g/m². If your product is a nonwoven fabric made from man-made filaments, you would use a different code, such as HS-6 560394.
Nonwoven fabrics classified under HS-6 560392 can include items like geotextiles used in landscaping or filtration materials for air and water purification. These products are often used in construction, healthcare, and environmental applications.
It's important to note that the weight of the nonwoven fabric is a critical factor in classification. Products that weigh less than 25 g/m² would fall under a different subheading, while those exceeding 70 g/m² would also be classified elsewhere.
