About heading 5603
Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated
Heading 5603 covers nonwovens: textile fabrics made directly from fibers or filaments rather than by weaving or knitting, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated. The heading splits first by fiber type, man-made filaments (5603.11 through 5603.14) versus other (5603.91 through 5603.94), then by weight in grams per square meter, and finally by treatment or article type, such as impregnated or imitation suede, ready-for-use packaged articles, laminated fabrics, floor covering underlays, and other nonwovens. All declarable lines shown in this heading carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.
