Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 150g/m2)

HS v2017 Code: 560394

About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 150g/m2)

HS code 560394 covers a diverse range of nonwoven fabrics that are not made from man-made filaments and weigh more than 150g/m2. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and automotive to personal care and filtration. Their versatility and durability make them an essential component in the global supply chain, contributing to the overall economic landscape.

Production process

Nonwovens under HS code 560394 are typically produced using a combination of mechanical, thermal, and/or chemical bonding techniques. The primary methods include needle-punching, thermal bonding, and chemical bonding. These processes involve the interlocking or fusing of fibers, creating a cohesive and durable fabric structure without the need for traditional weaving or knitting.

Production inputs

The production of nonwovens under HS code 560394 requires a variety of raw materials, including natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and cellulose-based fibers, as well as synthetic fibers like polyester and polypropylene. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as carding machines, needlepunch equipment, and thermal bonding units, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Nonwovens classified under HS code 560394 have a wide range of applications, including 560311 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, weighing not more than 25 g/m2, 560312 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, weighing more than 25 g/m2 but not more than 70 g/m2, and 560313 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, weighing more than 70 g/m2 but not more than 150 g/m2. These materials are used in various industries, such as construction, automotive, personal care, and filtration.
