About this HS Code
HS Code 5603 encompasses nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated. The classification is organized by weight per square meter, with detailed subcategories for lightweight (5603.11-5603.14), medium-weight (5603.91-5603.93), and heavyweight nonwovens (5603.94). This versatile textile category produces materials through direct fiber bonding rather than traditional weaving or knitting processes. Products range from lightweight disposable hygiene materials to heavyweight geotextiles for construction applications. Technical specifications focus on tensile strength, elongation, air permeability, liquid barrier properties, and uniformity. Manufacturing technologies include spunbond, meltblown, airlaid, wetlaid, needlepunch, spunlace, and thermal bonding processes, each delivering specific performance characteristics. This division represents a significant technical textile sector providing engineered materials that often replace traditional fabrics in applications requiring specific functional properties.
