About HS Code 560313
This HS code covers nonwoven fabrics made from man-made filaments, characterized by a medium-heavy basis weight, specifically between 70 g/m² and 150 g/m². These materials can also be impregnated, coated, or laminated to enhance their properties. They are highly sought after for applications demanding significant strength, durability, and often, specific technical performance. Importers include manufacturers in the construction, automotive, furniture, and industrial filtration sectors, where robust and engineered textiles are essential. Exporters are typically countries with advanced polymer science and nonwoven manufacturing capabilities, able to produce high-performance filament-based nonwovens. Key trade considerations include the type of polymer, the nonwoven formation method (e.g., spunbond, needlepunch), and any applied treatments, as these factors dictate the material's suitability for demanding end-uses. This grammage range signifies a more substantial and often more durable product.
Products Under This Code
Heavy-duty spunbond nonwoven, Automotive carpet backing, Furniture upholstery backing, Industrial filtration cartridges, Geotextile reinforcement fabric, Roofing underlayment, Durable protective workwear fabric, Sound insulation nonwoven
Real World Examples
Freudenberg Performance Materials (automotive and construction nonwovens), Berry Global (industrial nonwovens), Ahlstrom-Munksjö (filtration nonwovens), TenCate Geosynthetics (geotextiles), Johns Manville (building materials)
Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with 560312 (lighter nonwovens) or 560314 (heavier nonwovens) if the grammage is not accurately determined. It's also important to differentiate from nonwovens made from staple fibers (560393).
Industry
This code belongs to the Textiles & Clothing industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, USA, and China are significant importers, while China, USA, and Germany are prominent exporters of these medium-heavy man-made filament nonwovens.
