Chapter 57: Carpets and other textile floor coverings
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 570232 when importing or exporting woven carpets made from man-made textile materials, specifically those with pile construction. For example, a shipment of synthetic fiber area rugs would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 570210, which covers woven carpets made of natural fibers. If your product is made from synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, 570232 is the correct classification.
The 570232 subheading includes carpets that are woven but not tufted or flocked, meaning they have a pile but are not constructed with the tufting method. This could include woven rugs that are not yet made up into finished products.
When classifying your products, consider the material and construction method. If you have a pile carpet made from man-made fibers that is not yet finished or made up, this is the appropriate HS code.
