HS Code 5703.31 – Carpets and other textile floor coverings; tufted, of other man-made textile materials (other than polyamides), whether or not made up
HS code 5703.31 is the 6-digit subheading for carpets and other textile floor coverings, tufted, of other man-made textile materials (other than polyamides), whether or not made up. It is used for polyester cut pile carpet, polypropylene loop pile carpet, acrylic area rugs, olefin carpet tiles and solution-dyed polyester broadloom.
What HS 5703.31 covers
This HS code covers tufted carpets and other textile floor coverings crafted from man-made fibers other than nylon or polyamides, primarily including polyester, polypropylene (olefin), and acrylic. These materials offer distinct advantages such as excellent stain resistance (polypropylene), vibrant color retention (polyester), and a wool-like feel (acrylic), often at a more accessible price point than natural fibers or premium nylons. International trade sees significant movement from manufacturing hubs in Asia (e.g., China, India) and parts of Europe to major consumer markets in North America and Western Europe. Traders should be aware of the specific performance characteristics of each fiber type, as they dictate suitability for high-traffic areas, moisture resistance, and overall durability, influencing market demand and pricing strategies for these diverse synthetic options.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
