Classification of tufted synthetic carpets under HS 5703.39
Tufted synthetic carpets are classified under HS code 5703.39 when the pile is made of man-made textile materials other than polyamides (nylon). This subheading is part of Chapter 57, which encompasses all textile floor coverings. The tufting process involves needles punching yarn into a primary backing to create a pile surface. Subheading 5703.39 is a residual category for synthetic or artificial fibers such as polyester, polypropylene (olefin), or acrylic. The classification is determined by the fiber type of the visible pile. If the carpet is made of nylon, it would fall under 5703.21 or 5703.29. The "39" suffix indicates that the product is not "artificial turf" (which is 5703.31). These carpets are widely used in residential and commercial settings due to their durability and stain resistance. Customs authorities require precise fiber content documentation to distinguish between the various subheadings of 5703, as duty rates may vary based on the synthetic material used.

Codes often confused with 5703.39
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 5703.29 (tufted carpets of polyamides/nylon) or 5703.31 (artificial turf). It is also sometimes incorrectly placed in 5705.00, which is a catch-all for "other" carpets that are not tufted, woven, or knotted. Accurate identification of the synthetic polymer is required to avoid misclassification between 5703.2x and 5703.3x.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
