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

HS v2022 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 broad 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. As a versatile and durable textile product, nonwovens described by this code are in high demand globally, contributing significantly to international trade and economic growth.

Production process

The production of nonwovens under HS code 560394 typically involves a combination of mechanical, thermal, and/or chemical bonding processes. These techniques may include needle-punching, thermal bonding, or chemical bonding, depending on the desired properties and end-use applications of the final product. The manufacturing process often begins with the preparation of the raw materials, which are then formed into a web or mat, and subsequently bonded to create the nonwoven fabric.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nonwovens under HS code 560394 include natural fibers, such as cotton, wool, or cellulose-based fibers, as well as specialized machinery for web formation, bonding, and finishing. Additionally, various chemical additives, such as binders, coatings, or impregnating agents, may be used to enhance the fabric's properties, depending on the intended application.

Production outputs

Nonwovens produced 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 commonly used in industries such as construction, automotive, personal care, and filtration, among others.
