5702.39.20 - Other

This HTS category, 5702.39.20, encompasses woven carpets and other textile floor coverings that are not tufted or flocked, and are not made up. They are of pile construction and are made from textile materials other than jute. The "other textile materials" aspect is crucial for classification within this heading, distinguishing these items from those specifically enumerated elsewhere.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its material composition. Unlike the sibling category 5702.39.10.00, which is reserved for jute-based floor coverings, this heading includes items constructed from a variety of other textile fibers. This can include, but is not limited to, synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, or polypropylene, as well as other natural fibers besides jute, such as wool or blends not primarily composed of jute.

Within this category, further subdivisions are made based on the specific type of "other textile material." Subcategory 5702.39.20.10 specifically classifies these floor coverings when they are made of cotton. The remaining items, not made of jute or cotton, fall under the residual subcategory 5702.39.20.90. This hierarchical structure ensures precise classification based on the dominant fiber content.
