Overview
This HTS category, 5603.13.00.70, encompasses nonwoven articles that are ready for immediate use and packaged for distribution in industrial, institutional, or retail settings. These articles are characterized by being manufactured from man-made filaments, weighing between 70 and 150 grams per square meter, and are not otherwise specified or included in more specific subheadings. The goods can be further processed by being separated, perforated, or impregnated.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5603.13.00.10 specifically covers nonwovens that have been impregnated, coated, or covered with materials other than rubber, plastics, wood pulp, or glass fibers, including those referred to as "imitation suede." The "Other" subheading, 5603.13.00.95, serves as a residual category for goods meeting the general criteria of 5603.13 but not falling under the more specific exclusions. Therefore, 5603.13.00.70 captures a broad range of nonwoven articles that do not fit these more narrowly defined exceptions.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Classification within this heading relies on a thorough examination of the material composition, manufacturing process, weight per square meter, and the intended use and packaging of the nonwoven article, ensuring it meets the criteria for "ready for use" and falls outside the scope of more specific provisions.
