Overview
This HTS category, 5603.11.00.95, specifically classifies "Other" nonwovens, falling under the broader scope of nonwovens made from man-made filaments that weigh not more than 25 grams per square meter. This residual classification is applied to nonwovens within this weight and filament composition that do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings at this level. It is crucial to ensure that a product does not fit into any more specific designation before being classified here.
To distinguish this category from its siblings, consider the explicit exclusions. HTS 5603.11.00.10 covers nonwovens that are impregnated, coated, or covered with materials other than rubber, plastics, wood pulp, or glass fibers, including those identified as "imitation suede." Similarly, HTS 5603.11.00.70 is reserved for nonwoven articles that are finished, ready for use, and packaged for industrial, institutional, or retail sale, whether or not they are separated or perforated. Therefore, 5603.11.00.95 is for those simple, lightweight, man-made filament nonwovens that are not otherwise processed or prepared for direct end-use sale.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading requires a thorough examination of the nonwoven's material composition (man-made filaments), weight (not more than 25 g/m²), and the absence of specific treatments or preparations that would place it into a more narrowly defined category. Practical examples might include certain types of very lightweight filtration media or scrims that are not otherwise finished or coated.
