HS-4 · Heading
5705 — Carpets and other textile floor coverings; n.e.c. in chapter 57, whether or not made up
Chapter 57: Carpets and other textile floor coverings
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5705 when importing carpets and other textile floor coverings that don't fall into specific categories outlined in chapter 57. For example, if you're shipping a unique handmade rug that doesn't fit standard classifications, this code applies.
Choosing between HS-6 lines can be tricky. If your product is a finished carpet or rug, you might consider HS-6 570500. However, if your item is a textile floor covering that isn't fully manufactured, you may need to look at other headings in chapter 57 to ensure correct classification.
When determining the right code, consider the material and construction of your product. For instance, if your shipment includes a tufted wool carpet, it likely fits under HS-4 5705, but if it’s a non-woven textile covering, you may need to explore other options within the chapter.
