5603.13.00.95 - Other (223)

This HTS category, 5603.13.00.95, covers "Other" nonwoven fabrics of man-made filaments that weigh more than 70 g/m² but not more than 150 g/m². These are nonwoven materials, produced by bonding or interlocking fibers or filaments, where the fibers are of synthetic or artificial origin. The specified weight range is a crucial determinant for inclusion within this sub-heading, differentiating it from lighter or heavier nonwoven fabrics.

This particular classification acts as a residual category for nonwoven fabrics meeting the filament and weight criteria, but which are not specifically described by the sibling categories. Specifically, it excludes nonwovens that are impregnated, coated, or covered with materials other than or in addition to rubber, plastics, wood pulp, or glass fibers, as classified under 5603.13.00.10. It also excludes nonwoven articles that are ready for use and packaged for industrial, institutional, or retail sale, regardless of perforation or impregnation, which fall under 5603.13.00.70.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5603.13.00.95 depends on the material being a nonwoven of man-made filaments, falling within the 70-150 g/m² weight range, and not meeting the specific criteria of other more narrowly defined subheadings within 5603.13. This often includes plain, unfinished nonwoven fabrics meeting these characteristics, intended for further processing or a general application not covered elsewhere.
