U.S. imports of nonwovens of manmade filaments, over 150 g/m² (HS 560314) totaled $23.9M in April 2026, traded with 41 countries.
Importers of Nonwovens of Manmade Filaments, Over 150 g/m² paid $2.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $17.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHeavy-weight manmade-filament nonwovens exceeding 150 g/m² serve demanding structural applications — roofing underlays, civil engineering geotextiles, and heavy-duty filtration — where tensile strength and dimensional stability are critical. The US tariff schedule distinguishes laminated fabrics (5603143000) from imitation-suede constructions (5603149010) and other uncoated material (5603149090), making accurate product characterization essential at entry. Canada and Germany are the leading suppliers to the US market, with Japan also a notable source. Importers of laminated variants should confirm whether the laminate layer triggers a different chapter classification under textile or plastics provisions.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification hinges on whether the essential character of the article is the nonwoven textile or the plastic layer. If the nonwoven substrate gives the product its primary function and the plastic coating is incidental, heading 5603 typically applies. If the plastic layer dominates by weight, thickness, or function, Chapter 39 may be more appropriate. A licensed customs broker or binding ruling request can resolve ambiguous cases.
Canada's proximity and USMCA eligibility make it a cost-competitive source for construction and industrial nonwovens shipped to US manufacturers. Germany's leadership reflects its advanced technical-textile industry, particularly in engineered geotextile and filtration grades that require tightly controlled fiber denier and bonding specifications not always available from lower-cost producers.
