Last updated: July 2026 dataFelt and nonwoven fabric garments span a wide commercial range — from disposable surgical and isolation gowns (6210105010) and other single-use hospital apparel (6210105090) to industrial coveralls (6210109010) and disposable briefs (6210107000) — making this one of the more functionally diverse headings in Chapter 62. Mexico leads US imports, benefiting from USMCA proximity for just-in-time supply of disposable medical and industrial garments, with China and Honduras also significant. Disposable medical garments such as surgical gowns may be subject to FDA device or establishment registration requirements depending on their intended use, which importers should evaluate alongside customs classification.

Surgical gowns intended for use as medical devices may require FDA 510(k) clearance or registration depending on their classification as a Class I or Class II device. Importers should confirm the regulatory status of the specific product with FDA before entry, as customs classification under 6210105010 does not itself determine FDA admissibility.
The defining criterion is that the fabric itself must be a felt or nonwoven — meaning fibers bonded by mechanical, chemical, or thermal processes rather than woven or knitted. If the outer shell or primary fabric of the garment is a woven or knitted textile, even if laminated or coated, the garment is classified under a different heading based on its construction and fiber content.
