5702.50.52.00 - Of man-made textile materials (665) 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 5702.50.52.00, specifically addresses woven carpets and other textile floor coverings that are not tufted or flocked, are not made up, and are constructed from man-made textile materials. These items are distinguished by their woven construction, as opposed to tufted or flocked methods, and they are not finished products like rugs or mats that have been cut, bound, or otherwise fabricated. The "of man-made textile materials" descriptor is crucial, indicating that the primary component fibers are synthetic or regenerated cellulosic materials.

This category is a subset of "Other, not of pile construction, not made up" within Chapter 57, which pertains to woven carpets. It is differentiated from sibling categories by its material composition. The "Of wool or fine animal hair" sibling would cover similar woven, non-pile floor coverings made from natural animal fibers. Conversely, the ": Of other textile materials:" sibling would likely encompass items made from other unspecified textile materials, potentially including a broader range of natural fibers beyond wool or fine animal hair, or blends not primarily of man-made fibers.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is therefore defined by the specific combination of woven construction, absence of pile, not being a made-up item, and its explicit exclusion of wool or fine animal hair, thereby pinpointing floor coverings composed of man-made fibers.
