HTS heading 5704 groups carpets and other textile floor coverings made of felt that are not tufted or flocked. “Whether or not made up” means the goods may be finished or cut into a usable form, such as a mat or shaped floor covering; the heading covers both made-up and unmade-up goods when they meet the other requirements. The key product features are the felt construction and the absence of tufting or flocking.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with heading 5704, then read the applicable subheadings and tariff provisions below it. The more specific subdivisions commonly distinguish the material or fiber content and may also reflect the product’s type or other stated characteristics. Confirm the exact wording, unit of quantity, and any relevant legal notes in the current HTSUS; a customs broker or classification specialist may be needed for unusual constructions or mixed materials.
What to check
- Verify that the floor covering is genuinely made of felt, rather than woven, knitted, tufted, flocked, or made using another construction.
- Confirm that it is not tufted or flocked, including by checking the manufacturing description and product specifications.
- Identify the fiber or material composition, including any blends, and compare it with the subheading descriptions under heading 5704.
- Check whether the item is finished, cut, shaped, backed, or otherwise made up, and review whether those features affect the available subheadings.
- Read the full 8-digit provision, section and chapter notes, and applicable classification rules before using the code on an entry.

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.
