Chapter 59: Impregnated, coated textiles
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 590320 when importing or exporting textile fabrics that are impregnated, coated, or laminated with polyurethane. For example, a shipment of coated nylon fabric used in outdoor gear would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to fabrics treated with polyurethane, distinguishing them from those coated with other materials like PVC, which would fall under a different subheading. Understanding this difference is crucial for accurate classification.
Textile fabrics under this code are often used in industrial applications, such as upholstery, tarpaulins, and protective clothing. If you’re dealing with a fabric that has a polyurethane layer, this is the correct classification.
When considering similar codes, note that HS-6 590210 covers fabrics coated with rubber, which can have different applications and properties compared to polyurethane-coated textiles.
