5704.10.00.10 - Of wool or fine animal hair (465)

This HTS classification covers carpet tiles that are specifically made of wool or fine animal hair. These tiles fall under the broader category of felt floor coverings, which are neither tufted nor flocked. The defining characteristic for this code is the material composition, requiring the presence of wool or fine animal hair for classification.

Distinguishing these tiles from their sibling category, 5704.10.00.90 "Other," is crucial. While both are carpet tiles with a maximum surface area of 0.3 square meters and are made of felt, the "Other" category would encompass tiles made from synthetic fibers, cotton, or blends not primarily consisting of wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, the material of origin is the primary differentiator.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 5704.10.00.10 is final for qualifying wool or fine animal hair carpet tiles. Key considerations for correct classification will involve verifying the percentage of wool or fine animal hair content and confirming that the item is indeed a tile with a maximum surface area not exceeding 0.3 square meters.
