HS v2017 Code: 560229

About felt; of textile materials other than wool or fine animal hair (excluding needleloom felt and stitch-bonded fibre fabrics), not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated

HS code 560229 covers a wide range of felt products made from textile materials other than wool or fine animal hair. These felt products are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and filtration. They play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential materials for the manufacture of various goods and the facilitation of industrial processes.

Production process

The production of felt covered by HS code 560229 typically involves a process known as dry felting. This process involves the mechanical interlocking of textile fibers, such as polyester, rayon, or acrylic, through the application of heat, pressure, and agitation. The fibers are then further processed to create the desired thickness, density, and surface texture of the felt material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of felt under HS code 560229 include the textile fibers, such as polyester, rayon, or acrylic, as well as specialized machinery for the dry felting process. Additionally, various chemicals and additives may be used to enhance the properties of the felt, such as fire retardancy or water resistance. The availability and cost of these raw materials and machinery can significantly impact the production and competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The felt products covered by HS code 560229 are used in a wide range of applications, including 854430 automotive components, 680800 construction materials, and 842139 filtration systems. These felt materials can be further processed or combined with other materials to create a variety of end-use products. The outputs of this industry are essential for the functioning of various other industries, making it an important component of the global supply chain.
