5702.49.10.80 - Other (369)

This classification, HTS Code 5702.49.10.80, pertains to woven carpets and other textile floor coverings of pile construction, which are made up and manufactured from textile materials other than wool or fine animal hair, specifically cotton. These items are characterized by their pile construction, meaning they have raised loops or cut threads that form the surface. Being "made up" indicates that these floor coverings have been finished, potentially including edging, backing, or shaping for specific use.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS 5702.49.10.20, by the method of manufacture. While both are made-up, pile-constructed floor coverings of cotton from other textile materials, this particular code encompasses those *not* made on a power-driven loom. Therefore, the key differentiating factor lies in the manufacturing process: this category is reserved for handwoven items or those produced using less automated, non-power-driven loom techniques.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. The scope of HTS 5702.49.10.80 is specifically defined by the material (cotton), construction (pile), finishing (made up), and manufacturing method (not on a power-driven loom). Consequently, precise identification relies on verifying these attributes for the imported or exported goods.
