About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 70g/m2 but not more than 150g/m2)

HS code 560393 covers a diverse range of nonwoven fabrics that are not made from man-made filaments. These materials, weighing between 70g/m2 and 150g/m2, are widely used across various industries, from textiles and apparel to construction and automotive. Their versatility and unique properties make them an essential component in the global supply chain, contributing to the production of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

Nonwovens within the 560393 classification are typically produced using a combination of mechanical, thermal, and/or chemical bonding techniques. The most common methods include needle-punching, thermal bonding, and chemical bonding. These processes involve the interlocking or fusing of fibers, creating a cohesive fabric structure without the need for traditional weaving or knitting.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS 560393 nonwovens include natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton, wool, polyester, and polypropylene. Specialized machinery, including carding machines, needlepunch equipment, and thermal/chemical bonding units, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, various chemical additives, such as binders and coatings, may be used to impart specific properties to the final product.

Production outputs

Nonwovens classified under HS code 560393 are utilized in a wide range of applications, including 650300 Wadding, gauze, bandages and the like; sterilized, 630790 Made up articles; of textile materials, n.e.s., 940490 Mattress supports; articles of bedding and similar furnishing, n.e.s., and 870821 (Parts and accessories of bodies (including cabs); safety seat belts). These versatile materials can be found in personal care products, filtration systems, insulation materials, and automotive components, among other uses.
