Chapter 57: Carpets and other textile floor coverings
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5704 when importing carpets and other textile floor coverings made of felt that are not tufted or flocked. For example, if you're shipping felt tiles with a surface area of 0.2 m², this heading applies directly to your product.
When deciding among the HS-6 lines, consider the surface area of your felt products. HS-6 570410 covers felt tiles with a maximum surface area of 0.3 m², while HS-6 570420 is for those exceeding 0.3 m² but not more than 1 m².

The distinction between HS-6 570420 and HS-6 570490 is crucial for compliance. If your carpet or floor covering is made of felt and has a surface area greater than 1 m², it falls under HS-6 570490. Ensure accurate measurements to avoid misclassification.
