5705.00.20.30 - Of man-made fibers (665)

This HTS classification, 5705.00.20.30, specifically covers "Other carpets and other textile floor coverings, whether or not made up," that are constructed from man-made fibers. This designation encompasses a broad range of floor coverings that do not fall under more specific material classifications within heading 5705, such as those made from wool, fine animal hair, or cotton. Therefore, items classified here are typically manufactured using synthetic or regenerated fibers, including but not limited to nylon, polyester, acrylic, rayon, or modal. The key differentiator is the primary textile material composing the floor covering.

When distinguishing this category from its siblings, it is crucial to note the material composition. While 5705.00.20.20 is reserved for cotton floor coverings, and implicit sibling categories would cover wool and fine animal hair, this specific code is for any other man-made fiber. If a floor covering is made from a blend where man-made fibers are predominant, it would likely fall under this classification unless a more specific blend provision exists at a lower level. The term "other" in the parent category signifies a catch-all for floor coverings not explicitly defined elsewhere within Chapter 57.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 5705.00.20.30. The classification is finalized based on the material being man-made fibers, applied to carpets and other textile floor coverings that do not fit into more narrowly defined categories. Classification at this level hinges on the accurate identification and predominance of man-made fibers in the construction of the floor covering.
