Woven Flax Fiber Runner
A long flat-woven runner made from flax (linen) fibers, fully finished and ready for use as a floor covering. Its non-pile construction and exposed textile surface qualify it under Chapter 57, and the flax material places it under tariff item 5702.99.10, which covers floor coverings of straw, hemp, flax tow or jute.

Related Products under Tariff item 5702.99.10
Woven Blended Vegetable Fiber Carpet
A flat-woven carpet made from a blend of vegetable fibres including jute, sisal, and abaca, made up and intended for floor use. Since jute is one of the materials listed under tariff item 5702.99.10, and the carpet is non-pile and made up, it falls under this item if jute predominates by weight over other fibres.
Woven Coir Door Mat
A heavy-duty flat-woven mat made from coconut coir fibres, designed for entryways without pile or flocking. Coir is a type of vegetable fibre derived from coconut husks, and while not explicitly listed, it may be considered under 'straw' or 'other vegetable materials'—however, since coir is not jute, hemp, or flax tow, it does not fit 5702.99.10 and is excluded.
Woven Hemp Oriental-Style Rug
A flat-woven rug that mimics oriental patterns using hemp yarns, made up without pile and intended for floor use. Hemp is explicitly listed under tariff item 5702.99.10, which covers floor coverings of straw, hemp, flax tow or jute, and the non-pile construction fits the subheading.
Woven Jute Area Rug
A handwoven rug made from natural jute fibres, featuring a flat weave construction without pile and designed for indoor floor covering. Jute is one of the materials explicitly listed under tariff item 5702.99.10, and the made-up, non-pile nature aligns with the subheading's scope.
