U.S. imports of nonwovens of man-made filaments weighing more than 25 g/m² but not more than 70 g/m² (HS 560312) totaled $33.3M in April 2026, traded with 44 countries.
Importers of Nonwovens of Man-Made Filaments Weighing More Than 25 g/m² but Not More Than 70 g/m² paid $3.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $29.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMid-weight nonwovens of man-made filaments in the 25–70 g/m² range serve as the backbone of roofing underlayments, automotive headliners, geotextile composites, and reusable shopping bags, where greater mass provides dimensional stability and durability. The US schedule mirrors the lighter-weight heading in structure, with separate lines for imitation suede (5603120010), ready-for-use packaged goods (5603120070), and other uncoated nonwovens (5603120095). Germany leads US supply in this weight band, with Turkey and Luxembourg also significant — Luxembourg's prominence reflecting the global headquarters and finishing operations of major nonwoven multinationals.

Basis weight (grams per square meter) is determined by weighing a standardized sample area of the fabric, typically using ASTM D3776 or ISO 9073-1 test methods. For customs purposes, CBP may request laboratory testing if the declared weight is near a threshold boundary (e.g., close to 25 or 70 g/m²). Importers should obtain mill test certificates confirming basis weight for each production lot to support the classification at entry.
Heading 5603 covers nonwovens 'whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated,' so light coating or lamination does not automatically displace the product from this heading. However, if the coating or laminate fundamentally changes the essential character of the article — for example, a heavy rubber or plastic coating that makes the textile component incidental — classification may shift to Chapter 39 (plastics) or Chapter 40 (rubber). The relative weight and function of each layer are the key analytical factors.
