HTS heading 5703 is a broad product category for tufted carpets and other tufted textile floor coverings, including certain artificial-turf products. “Tufted” generally means yarn is inserted into a backing material to form loops or cut pile. The heading can include floor coverings that are already finished or “made up,” such as those cut to shape, edged, or otherwise prepared for use.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the product belongs in heading 5703 rather than a different carpet heading. Then narrow it through the subheadings and statistical subdivisions, which commonly distinguish the surface material or fiber—such as wool, nylon, other man-made textile materials, or other textile materials—and, where applicable, the product’s specific type or construction. Review the complete tariff description, legal notes, and statistical suffix rather than relying only on a product name.
What to check
- Confirm the construction: verify that yarn is tufted into a backing, and do not assume every rug, mat, or turf product belongs in heading 5703.
- Identify the face fiber and its exact composition, including blends, because material distinctions can lead to different 8-digit classifications.
- Check whether the product is carpet, artificial turf, or another textile floor covering, and document its backing, pile, and finishing details.
- Compare the full 8-digit HTSUS descriptions and any applicable section or chapter notes; do not stop at the 4-digit heading.
- Keep product specifications, supplier composition records, photos, and samples, and ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the construction or fiber content is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
