U.S. imports of nonwovens not of manmade filaments, over 150 g/m² (HS 560394) totaled $25.8M in July 2026, traded with 49 countries.
Importers of Nonwovens Not of Manmade Filaments, Over 150 g/m² paid $2.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $18.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Nonwovens Not of Manmade Filaments, Over 150 g/m² imports of $25.8M in July 2026 ran 17% above the year-to-date monthly average of $22.1M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataHeavy non-MMF nonwovens above 150 g/m² encompass a notably broad range of constructions — from floor-covering underlays (5603941000 series, with separate lines for wool/fine animal hair versus other fibers) to laminated fabrics (5603943000), thermally bonded staple-fiber material (5603949030), and mechanically entangled staple-fiber goods (5603949050). Japan leads US imports in this heading, with China and Mexico also significant sources. The granular 10-digit structure reflects the diversity of end uses, and misclassification between the floor-covering underlay lines and general nonwoven lines is a common compliance risk. Importers of wool-content underlays should be aware that fiber composition triggers a distinct tariff line with potentially different duty treatment.

Lines 5603941010 (wool or fine animal hair) and 5603941090 (other fibers) are specifically reserved for nonwovens used as floor-covering underlays — a functional end-use designation. Classifying a general industrial nonwoven under these lines, or vice versa, can result in an incorrect duty rate and potential CBP penalties. Importers should document the intended end use and fiber content clearly in commercial invoices.
The distinction is based on the primary bonding mechanism: thermal bonding uses heat and pressure to fuse fibers, while mechanical entanglement (needle-punch or hydroentanglement) physically interlocks fibers without adhesives or heat fusion. Manufacturer process documentation or a laboratory analysis of the fabric's cross-section can confirm the bonding method for customs declaration purposes.
