5702.99.20.00 - Other

This HTS category, 5702.99.20.00, encompasses "Other" woven textile floor coverings that are not tufted or flocked, are made up, and are not of pile construction. These include various types of handwoven rugs such as "Kelem", "Schumacks", and "Karamanie" rugs when they are fabricated into a finished floor covering. The key defining characteristics are that they are woven, not tufted or flocked, and are presented in a made-up form ready for use as floor coverings, with a non-pile construction.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, "Of cotton," by the material composition of the textile. While the parent category 5702 covers a broad range of woven floor coverings, the specific sibling category 5702.99.20.00 focuses on those made from textile materials other than cotton. Therefore, when classifying woven, non-tufted, made-up floor coverings of non-pile construction, the critical distinction lies in whether the primary textile material is cotton or another fiber.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories under 5702.99.20.00. This signifies that all woven, non-tufted, made-up, non-pile floor coverings, not of cotton, are classified directly under this code. Practical classification considerations for this category would involve verifying the woven construction, confirming the absence of tufting or flocking, ensuring the item is made up for use as a floor covering, and ruling out cotton as the primary textile material.
