U.S. imports of nonwovens not of manmade filaments, 25 g/m² or less (HS 560391) totaled $2.1M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataUltra-lightweight nonwovens of natural or staple-fiber origin at or below 25 g/m² are primarily used in hygiene products, tea bags, seed tapes, and specialty medical applications where low basis weight and controlled porosity are paramount. China is the dominant supplier, followed by Germany and India, reflecting both high-volume commodity production and specialty technical-textile manufacturing. The US schedule separates imitation-suede constructions (5603910010) from other uncoated material (5603910090), and the fiber composition — cotton, wool, or other non-MMF staple — must be clearly documented to support correct classification. Importers should note that fiber content declarations affect both the applicable duty rate and any applicable textile safeguard provisions.

CBP may require a manufacturer's fiber content certification or laboratory test results confirming that the nonwoven is composed of natural or non-MMF staple fibers rather than synthetic or artificial filaments. Mill certificates, product data sheets, and test reports from accredited labs are commonly used to support the declaration.
Nonwovens from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific 10-digit HTS line and product description. Importers should verify current Section 301 list coverage for their specific subheading before entry, as applicability can vary by construction and end-use designation.
