Overview
This HTS category, 5705.00.10, specifically classifies carpets and other textile floor coverings that are manufactured from coir. Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconuts, known for its durability and coarse texture. Products falling under this subheading will be predominantly composed of coir, either as the sole material or as a significant component, used for flooring purposes. Examples include coir mats, rugs, and carpeting intended for both residential and commercial use.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 5705.00.20, which covers "Other" carpets and textile floor coverings not made of coir. While both subheadings fall under the broader heading of "Other carpets and other textile floor coverings, whether or not made up," the material composition is the defining factor. If the floor covering is not primarily made from coir, it would generally be classified under the "Other" subheading.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5705.00.10 hinges directly on the presence of coir as the primary material in the textile floor covering. The focus for accurate classification will be on verifying the material content of the product against the definition of coir.
