HS-4 · Heading
5703 — Carpets and other textile floor coverings (including turf); tufted, whether or not made up
Chapter 57: Carpets and other textile floor coverings
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5703 when importing or exporting carpets and other textile floor coverings, including turf. For example, if you’re shipping tufted carpets made of wool, this heading applies. It encompasses both made-up and unmade products, making it essential for textile traders.
When deciding between subheadings, consider the material of the carpet. For instance, HS-6 570310 is specific to tufted carpets made of wool or fine animal hair, while HS-6 570321 covers those made of nylon or other polyamides. If your product is made of a different man-made textile, you would look at HS-6 570331.
If your shipment includes tufted carpets made of materials other than wool or polyamides, you would use HS-6 570390. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment. Always verify the material composition to select the correct subheading.
