Overview
This HTS classification, 5702.20.10.00, specifically designates woven carpets and other textile floor coverings that are characterized by the presence of a pile. These items are constructed from textile materials and are intended for use on floors. The "with pile" descriptor is a crucial distinguishing feature, referring to the raised surface created by cut or uncut loops of yarn extending from the base fabric. This construction method gives the floor covering a distinct texture and depth, often associated with traditional rug-making techniques.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 5702.20.20.00 "Other," which would encompass woven floor coverings that do not possess a pile. For instance, flat-woven rugs like kilims, known for their tapestry-like construction without a raised pile, would fall under the "Other" category. Therefore, the presence or absence of a pile is the primary determinant for classifying a woven textile floor covering into this specific sub-heading.
As a leaf node, this classification does not contain further subdivisions. This indicates that all woven textile floor coverings that are made up, are not tufted or flocked, and crucially, possess a pile, will be classified under this HTS code, provided they are also of coconut fibers (coir) as indicated by the parent categories. Classification hinges on the material (coir), the manufacturing method (woven, not tufted/flocked), and the presence of a pile construction.
