5703.39.20 - Other

This HTS classification, 5703.39.20, encompasses "other" carpets and textile floor coverings that are tufted, made from man-made textile materials, and do not fall into the more specific subcategories within 5703.39. It represents a residual classification for tufted floor coverings where the specific manufacturing method or composition isn't otherwise detailed.

Within the context of "Other" man-made textile materials, this code distinguishes itself from its sibling category 5703.39.10. The sibling category specifically refers to hand-hooked floor coverings, where tufts are inserted manually or with hand tools. Therefore, 5703.39.20 applies to machine-tufted or otherwise constructed tufted floor coverings of man-made fibers that are not hand-hooked.

The subcategories under 5703.39.20 further refine the classification based on the area of the floor covering. Category 5703.39.20.30 is for items measuring not more than 5.25 square meters, while 5703.39.20.90 serves as a residual for all other tufted floor coverings of man-made materials that are not hand-hooked and exceed this area threshold. This distinction is crucial for accurate inventory management and trade reporting.
