Overview
This HTS code, 5603.92.00.70, encompasses nonwoven articles that are ready for use and packaged for industrial, institutional, or retail sale. These materials are not elsewhere specified or included within other HTS provisions and may be separated, perforated, or impregnated. The key defining characteristic for this subcategory is its weight range, falling between more than 25 g/m² but not exceeding 70 g/m².
Within the broader category of "Other" nonwovens weighing more than 25 g/m² but not more than 70 g/m², this specific code distinguishes itself from sibling entries. For instance, 5603.92.00.10 specifically covers nonwovens within this weight class that are impregnated, coated, or covered with materials other than rubber, plastics, wood pulp, or glass fibers, including "imitation suede." In contrast, 5603.92.00.70 applies to nonwoven articles within the same weight range that do not meet the specific impregnation/coating criteria of the sibling or are otherwise not classified under it.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5603.92.00.70 is determined by the physical weight of the nonwoven material and its presentation for sale, provided it does not fall under more specific preceding provisions. Examples might include certain types of cleaning wipes, disposable filter media, or specialized fabric interlinings that meet the specified weight and are packaged for commercial distribution.
