5702.31.20.00 - Other (465) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5702.31.20.00, encompasses woven textile floor coverings that are not of pile construction, nor tufted or flocked, and are not yet made up into finished products. This category specifically covers items that do not fall under the description of "Wilton (including brussels) and velvet (including tapestry) floor coverings" or similar construction types that are also not made up. The key distinguishing factor for this category is the absence of a pile construction, setting it apart from classifications that include such textured surfaces.

The focus here is on woven floor coverings with a flat weave construction, such as certain types of Kilim, Schumack, Karamanie, and similar handwoven rugs. Unlike its sibling category, 5702.31.10.00, which specifically identifies Wilton, Brussels, velvet, and tapestry floor coverings, this category accounts for all other woven, non-pile, and unfinished floor coverings made from wool or fine animal hair. The absence of any further subcategories indicates that this is a terminal classification, meaning items falling within this description are not further divided into more specific HTS codes.
