Last updated: August 2026 dataUncoated felt made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers — including cotton, jute, and other plant-based fibers — occupies this residual heading, with the entire US schedule consolidated into a single 10-digit line (5602290000). China dominates US supply under this heading, with Canada and Turkey also notable sources. Because the heading is defined by exclusion, correct classification requires confirming both the fiber composition and the absence of any impregnation or coating treatment.

Classification of blended felt follows the chief weight (essential character) of the fiber content. If synthetic (man-made) fibers predominate by weight, the product would typically fall under heading 560290 rather than 560229. If cotton predominates and the product is uncoated, 560229 applies. When fiber content is close to 50/50, a CBP binding ruling is advisable to lock in the correct classification before importation.
Importers should retain the manufacturer's fiber composition certificate (showing percentage by weight of each fiber), a technical data sheet confirming the absence of impregnation or coating, and the mill's production records if available. CBP may request laboratory testing to verify fiber content, particularly for blended products, so having pre-shipment test results on hand can expedite clearance.
