About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 25g/m2 but not more than 70g/m2)

HS code 560392 covers a broad range of nonwoven fabrics that are not made from man-made filaments. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from personal care and hygiene to construction and automotive applications. Their versatility and unique properties make them indispensable in the global economy, contributing to the development of innovative products and solutions.

Production process

Nonwoven fabrics under HS code 560392 are typically produced using a combination of mechanical, thermal, and/or chemical processes. The main production techniques include needle-punching, spunbonding, meltblowing, and hydroentanglement. These methods allow for the creation of durable, lightweight, and customizable nonwoven materials that can be further processed, coated, or laminated to meet specific end-user requirements.

Production inputs

The production of nonwovens under HS code 560392 relies on a variety of raw materials, including natural fibers (such as cotton, wool, or cellulose-based fibers) and synthetic fibers (such as polypropylene, polyester, or polyamide). Additionally, manufacturers may utilize binders, adhesives, and other chemical additives to enhance the fabric's properties. Specialized machinery, such as carding machines, web-forming equipment, and bonding systems, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

Nonwoven fabrics produced under HS code 560392 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, and 560410 Textile fabrics; impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, other than those of heading 5902. These materials are commonly used in personal care products, filtration systems, insulation, and a variety of industrial applications.
