Carpets and other textile floor coverings, n.e.c. in chapter 57, whether or not made up.
Classification of textile floor coverings under HS 5705.00
Textile floor coverings that do not fit into the specific construction categories of Chapter 57 are classified under HS code 5705.00. Chapter 57 is dedicated to carpets and other textile floor coverings. While other headings in this chapter cover knotted (5701), woven (5702), tufted (5703), or felt (5704) floor coverings, 5705.00 acts as a residual category for "other" textile floor coverings. This includes products where the textile material is bonded to a backing in a way that does not meet the definitions of weaving or tufting, or unique constructions like needle-punched floor coverings that are not specifically felt. The classification ensures that any textile product intended for use as a floor covering is captured within this chapter, regardless of the novelty of its manufacturing process.
- Covers
- Bonded textile floor mats
- Non-woven floor coverings (not felt)
- Braided textile rugs
- Vinyl-backed textile floor tiles (where textile is the face)
- Needle-loomed floor coverings without a distinct felt structure
- Hand-assembled textile floor mats
- Also under 5705.00
- IKEA Lohals Rug
- Chilewich Floor Mats
- Safavieh Natural Fiber Rugs
- Nanimarquina (some collections)
- Ruggable (certain non-standard constructions)
Codes often confused with 5705.00
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 5703 (tufted carpets) or 5704 (felt carpets). It is also frequently misclassified under 3918 if the product has a heavy plastic or vinyl component; however, if the textile material forms the essential character of the walking surface, it remains in 5705.00. Additionally, rubber mats are excluded and should be classified under 4016.

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).
