Chapter 57: Carpets and other textile floor coverings

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 570331 when importing or exporting tufted carpets made from man-made textile materials, excluding polyamides. For instance, a shipment of synthetic fiber rugs for a home decor store would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers tufted carpets made from materials like polyester or polypropylene. In contrast, HS-6 570332 pertains to tufted carpets made of polyamide materials, so be careful to classify correctly based on the material composition.

When dealing with tufted carpets, it's important to note that they can be either made up (finished) or in the form of rolls. If you have a shipment of unassembled tufted carpet tiles, they still fall under this HS-6 as long as they are made from the specified man-made materials.

If you're unsure about the material of your carpets, check the product specifications. For example, carpets labeled as '100% polyester' or 'polypropylene blend' should be classified under this HS-6.
