Last updated: August 2026 dataFelt that has been impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated — and does not fall into the needleloom or uncoated categories — is classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing laminated felt (5602903000), non-laminated man-made fiber felt (5602906000), and all other non-laminated felt (5602909000). These value-added constructions serve demanding end uses such as industrial sealing, automotive acoustics, and architectural wall panels, where the coating or laminate provides moisture resistance, dimensional stability, or bonding capability. Thailand and Turkey lead US supply, with Italy also a notable source for higher-specification coated felt products.

HTS 5602903000 covers felt that has been laminated — bonded to another layer of material such as film, foam, or fabric. Lines 5602906000 and 5602909000 cover felt that is impregnated or coated (e.g., resin-treated or surface-coated) but not laminated, with 5602906000 specific to man-made fiber constructions and 5602909000 covering all other fiber types. The distinction between lamination and coating can be subtle; CBP generally looks at whether a distinct separate layer is bonded to the felt substrate.
Felt products classified under heading 5602 may be subject to Section 301 tariffs when originating from China, depending on the specific 10-digit HTS line. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list status for each applicable subheading before entry, as coverage and exclusion status can change. A licensed customs broker can confirm current applicability and any active exclusion requests.
