Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 570321 when importing or exporting tufted carpets made of nylon or other polyamides. For example, a shipment of a 12x15-foot nylon carpet would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers tufted carpets, which are made by punching yarn into a backing material. In contrast, HS-6 570322 applies to similar carpets made from other materials, such as polyester.
When classifying under this HS-6, consider whether the carpets are made up (finished) or not. Both finished and unfinished tufted nylon carpets are included, but they must be primarily made of nylon or polyamides.
If you're dealing with carpets that are woven or made of different synthetic fibers, you may need to look at other HS codes under the same heading.
