Overview
HTS Code 5702 encompasses woven carpets and other textile floor coverings that are not tufted or flocked. This broad category includes a variety of floor coverings distinguished by their construction method. It also covers items that have been made up, meaning they may have finished edges or be cut to specific dimensions for use. Notably, this heading specifically includes traditional handwoven rugs such as "Kelem," "Schumacks," and "Karamanie," recognizing their unique weaving techniques.
Distinguishing HTS 5702 from sibling categories at the same level requires focusing on the fundamental difference in manufacturing. While other categories within Chapter 57 might cover tufted, flocked, or perhaps machine-made broadloom carpets (depending on the specific sibling), 5702 is exclusively for *woven* constructions. This emphasis on the weaving process is crucial for correct classification, separating these products from other types of floor coverings.
The subcategories under 5702 further refine the classification based on specific construction types and whether the item is made up. For instance, specific provisions exist for handwoven rugs ("Kelem," etc.), floor coverings made from coconut fibers, and distinctions are made between pile construction and other woven constructions. Additionally, these distinctions are applied to whether the item is presented as is (not made up) or as a finished product (made up), allowing for precise tariff application based on the specific characteristics of the floor covering.
