5704.20.00.10 - Of wool or fine animal hair (465)

This HTS category, 5704.20.00.10, specifically classifies carpet tiles made from felt that are not tufted or flocked. These tiles must be constructed from wool or fine animal hair, as indicated by the parent description. The defining physical characteristic is their size, with a maximum surface area exceeding 0.3 square meters but not exceeding 1 square meter. This precise dimensional criterion is crucial for distinguishing them from other floor coverings.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, 5704.20.00.90, by the material composition of the felt tiles. While both fall under the broader description of felt carpet tiles within specific size parameters, 5704.20.00.10 is exclusively for tiles made of wool or fine animal hair. The sibling category would encompass felt carpet tiles of the same size but made from other materials.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code is definitive for felt carpet tiles meeting the size and material specifications. Practical classification will rely on verifying the material content (wool or fine animal hair) and confirming the dimensions fall within the specified range for tiles.
