5702.39.20.90 - Other

This HTS category, "Other," within the broader classification of woven carpets and textile floor coverings not tufted or flocked, specifically encompasses those floor coverings of pile construction that are not made up (i.e., are not finished products like rugs or mats) and are manufactured from textile materials other than cotton. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is the material composition; if the pile construction is not cotton, it falls under this residual category.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5702.39.20.10 "Of cotton," is the primary material of the textile fibers used in the pile construction. While both are woven, not tufted or flocked, and are not made up, the crucial differentiator is whether the pile is made from cotton. This "Other" category serves as a catch-all for pile floor coverings constructed from synthetic fibers, wool, silk, or any other textile material not classified as cotton.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code hinges directly on the absence of cotton in the pile construction, coupled with the defining characteristics of the parent categories: woven, not tufted or flocked, of pile construction, and not made up. This ensures that all non-cotton woven pile floor coverings, in their unfinished state, are appropriately accounted for.
