        detergents of heading 3401, polishes, creams or similar preparations of heading

2.  The term "felt" includes needleloom felt and fabrics consisting of a web of textile fibers,
     the cohesion of which has been enhanced by a stitch-bonding process using fibers from
     the web itself.

3.  Headings 5602 and 5603 cover respectively felt and nonwovens, impregnated, coated,
     covered or laminated with plastics or rubber whatever the nature of these materials
     (compact or cellular).

    Heading 5603 also includes nonwovens in which plastics or rubber forms the bonding
     substance.

    Heading 5602 and 5603 do not, however, cover:

  (a). Felt impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber,
        containing 50 percent or less by weight of textile material or felt completely
        embedded in plastics or rubber (chapter 39 or 40);

  (b). Nonwovens, either completely embedded in plastics or rubber, or entirely coated
        or covered on both sides with such materials, provided that such coating or
        covering can be seen with the naked eye with no account being taken of any
        resulting change of color (chapter 39 or 40); or

  (c). Plates, sheets or strips of cellular plastics or cellular rubber combined with felt or
        nonwovens, where the textile materials is present merely for reinforcing
        purposes (chapter 39 or 40).

4.  Heading 5604 does not cover textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading 5404 or 5405,
     in which the impregnation, coating or covering cannot be seen with the naked eye
     (usually chapters 50 to 55); for the purpose of this provision, no account should be
     taken of any resulting change of color.
