Overview
This category, HTS 5704.90.01.90, encompasses "other" felt floor coverings that are not tufted or flocked. It is a residual category for felt floor coverings that do not meet the specific criteria of any other subheadings within Chapter 57. These items, regardless of whether they are presented as finished goods or in piece form, are primarily characterized by their construction from felt material.
Unlike its sibling category, 5704.90.01.10, which specifically covers felt floor coverings made of wool or fine animal hair, this category is intended for felt floor coverings composed of materials *other than* wool or fine animal hair. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification and hinges on the predominant fiber content of the felt.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification under 5704.90.01.90 depends entirely on a thorough examination of the material composition to ensure it is indeed felt, not tufted or flocked, and does not consist of wool or fine animal hair. Examples could include felt floor coverings made from synthetic fibers like polyester or acrylic, or blends where these synthetic fibers are the primary component.
