Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tufted
Tufted felt carpets shift to Chapter 57 heading 5703 for tufted textile floor coverings, regardless of tile size.
If PVC-backed rather than pure felt
Floor coverings with significant plastic surface like PVC dominate classification under Chapter 39 plastics, not textile Chapter 57.
If sold in continuous lengths, not tiles
Non-tile felt floor coverings without tufting classify under 5705 for other felt carpets, changing from tile-specific subheading.
