U.S. imports of Nonwovens Not of Manmade Filaments, 70–150 g/m² (HS 560393) totaled $15.1M in September 2026, imported from 35 countries.
Importers of Nonwovens Not of Manmade Filaments, 70–150 g/m² paid $1.9M in duties in September 2026, an average duty rate of 13.11% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: September 2026 dataMedium-weight nonwovens in the 70–150 g/m² range made from natural or staple fibers (rather than continuous manmade filaments) serve construction, automotive, geotextile, and filtration end-uses where bulk and absorbency matter more than the tensile efficiency of filament-based grades. China is the dominant supplier, with Germany and South Korea also significant — a supply profile reflecting both high-volume commodity production and specialty technical-textile manufacturing. The US schedule separates imitation-suede constructions (5603930010) from other uncoated grades (5603930090). Goods from China in this category may be subject to Section 301 tariffs.

The 'not of manmade filaments' qualifier distinguishes this heading from 5603 headings covering continuous-filament nonwovens. Nonwovens made from manmade staple fibers (e.g., polyester staple, viscose staple) are classified here rather than under the filament subheadings, because the fiber is cut rather than continuous. Natural fibers such as cotton, wool, or jute also fall here. Importers should confirm fiber form — staple versus filament — with the manufacturer.
Imitation-suede nonwovens are specifically engineered to replicate the surface texture and hand of split leather through processes such as needle-punching, buffing, or microfiber splitting. They are carved out into their own line because their end-use (upholstery, footwear, fashion accessories) and value profile differ substantially from commodity nonwovens used in construction or filtration. Importers of suede-like nonwoven fabrics should verify whether the product meets the imitation-suede description before defaulting to the NESOI line.
