Overview
This HTS category, 5702.41.10.00, specifically classifies Wilton and Brussels carpets, as well as velvet and tapestry floor coverings, and other similar woven floor coverings with a pile construction. The "Wilton" designation refers to a specific weaving process that creates a cut or uncut pile. Similarly, "velvet" and "tapestry" floor coverings within this group are characterized by their pile construction, often featuring intricate designs. These are further distinguished by being "made up," meaning they are finished articles ready for use as floor coverings.
The primary distinction from its sibling category, 5702.41.20.00, lies in the specific types of woven pile floor coverings included. While 5702.41.20.00 broadly covers "other" woven pile floor coverings, this category is more precise, enumerating Wilton, Brussels, velvet, and tapestry constructions. Both categories fall under the broader umbrella of woven, non-tufted or flocked floor coverings of pile construction, whether or not made up.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5702.41.10.00 depends on the precise manufacturing method (Wilton, Brussels, velvet, tapestry weaving) and the material composition, which is specified as wool or fine animal hair. The key is to identify the pile construction and the specific weaving technique employed to distinguish these covered items from other woven floor coverings.
