Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2)

HS v2022 Code: 560391

About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2)

HS code 560391 covers a specific category of nonwoven fabrics that are not made from man-made filaments and weigh no more than 25g/m2. These lightweight, versatile materials have a wide range of applications across various industries, making them an important component of the global textile and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

Nonwovens under HS code 560391 are typically produced using techniques such as spunbonding, meltblowing, or hydroentanglement. These processes involve extruding or bonding natural or synthetic fibers to create a cohesive, non-woven fabric structure without the need for traditional weaving or knitting methods.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 560391 nonwovens include natural fibers such as cotton, wool, or cellulose-based materials, as well as synthetic fibers like polypropylene or polyester. Specialized machinery, including extruders, spinnerets, and hydroentanglement equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Nonwovens classified under HS code 560391 are used in a wide range of applications, including 481810 Toilet paper, 481820 Handkerchiefs, cleansing or facial tissues and towels, 560311 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, and 560312 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made staple fibers. These lightweight, absorbent, and versatile materials are essential inputs for various industries, from personal care and hygiene to industrial filtration and insulation.
