SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of impregnated, coated, covered or laminated felt (SITC 65719) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.
Importers of Impregnated, Coated, Covered or Laminated Felt paid $264K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $1.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Impregnated, Coated, Covered or Laminated Felt imports of $1.7M in April 2026 ran 16% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.4M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFelt that has been treated with resins, rubber, plastics, bitumen, or other substances — or laminated to another material — transitions from a basic textile into a functional composite used in roofing underlays, gaskets, vibration damping, filtration, and industrial sealing applications. The impregnation or coating is what drives classification here rather than in the unfinished felt heading, and the nature of the coating (rubber, plastic, bitumen) may also trigger classification review under chapters covering coated fabrics or rubber articles at the HTS level. Buyers in construction, automotive, and industrial manufacturing are the primary end users, and product specifications center on the coating type, add-on weight, and substrate density. Section 301 tariff exposure may apply depending on the country of origin and specific HTS classification.

If the coating or impregnating substance (such as rubber or plastic) becomes the essential character of the article — for example, when the coating is so thick that the felt substrate is no longer the dominant component by weight or function — CBP may classify the article under chapters covering rubberized fabrics or plastics-coated textiles rather than under felt headings. The relative weight and functional role of the coating versus the felt substrate are the key analytical factors.
For construction applications such as roofing underlays, compliance with ASTM standards (e.g., ASTM D226 for asphalt-saturated felt) is commonly required by US building codes and project specifications. For automotive or industrial gasket applications, ISO or OEM-specific material certifications may be required. Importers should request mill test reports and relevant standard compliance documentation from suppliers before shipment to avoid rejection at the point of use.
