The specific methods employed can vary depending on the desired properties and end-use of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5903 textile fabrics include the base textile materials, such as cotton, polyester, or nylon, as well as the various plastic compounds used for impregnation, coating, or lamination. These plastics can include PVC, polyurethane, or other synthetic polymers. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as coating or laminating machines, are essential for the manufacturing process.
