Overview
This HTS classification, 5702.42.20.20, specifically designates woven carpets and other textile floor coverings of pile construction, which are made up. Crucially, these items are *not* produced on a power-driven loom, indicating they are handwoven or produced by other non-mechanized methods. This distinction is paramount for accurate classification.
The core differentiator for this category lies in its method of production. While it falls under the broader "Other" category for made-up, pile construction carpets of man-made textile materials, the specific criterion of not being made on a power-driven loom sets it apart from its sibling category, 5702.42.20.80, which would encompass power-loomed equivalents. This manual production method often implies unique aesthetic qualities, variations in weave, and potentially different construction techniques.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the precise identification of the floor covering as being of pile construction, made up, composed of man-made textile materials, and, most importantly, *not* produced on a power-driven loom. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the manufacturing process to ensure correct application of this code.
