Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the rug weave is made of straw, hemp, flax tow or jute
This alternative applies when the woven fabric is composed of these natural fibres.
If the vinyl coating is substantial and the textile is no longer the exposed surface
Heavy plastic coating would move the product to Chapter 59, which covers textiles impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics.
