Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 570390 when importing or exporting tufted carpets made from textile materials that are not man-made, wool, or fine animal hair. For example, a shipment of tufted cotton carpets would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers carpets and other textile floor coverings that are tufted, allowing for a variety of materials, but excludes those made from synthetic fibers or specific animal hairs. In contrast, HS-6 570391 would apply to tufted carpets made from wool.
When considering HS-6 570390, note that it encompasses not just finished carpets but also those that may still be in the manufacturing process. This means that if you're dealing with semi-finished tufted textile floor coverings, this code may still apply.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider the material composition and the tufting method used. For instance, a tufted carpet made from jute would be classified here, while one made from nylon would not.
