5705.00.20 - Other

HTS code 5705.00.20 encompasses "Other" carpets and textile floor coverings, not specifically classified under previous headings. This broad category captures a wide array of floor coverings that do not fall into more specialized classifications. Crucially, this designation applies to floor coverings that are not manufactured from coir, which is addressed in the sibling category 5705.00.10.

The purpose of this "Other" classification is to provide a residual category for textile floor coverings that possess characteristics distinct from those with designated material-specific classifications. It serves as a catch-all for a variety of designs, constructions, and compositions of carpets and floor coverings not otherwise provided for.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification based on primary fiber content. These subcategories include floor coverings predominantly made of cotton (5705.00.20.20), man-made fibers (5705.00.20.30), and a final residual "Other" subcategory (5705.00.20.90) for those not falling into the preceding material classifications. This tiered structure ensures accurate tariff application based on the dominant material of the floor covering.
