What does HS code 5703 represent?
In a tufted carpet, yarn is stitched through a backing material to form the soft surface. The heading applies whether the item is made up or not. A made up carpet is cut to size and finished. An unmade one is still in the roll or length.
The Harmonized System is the shared naming list that customs offices use. It sorts every traded product into a numbered group. Heading 5703 sits in the part of that list for carpets and other textile floor coverings. You may also see it written as HSN code 5703 or HTS 5703. The first four digits stay the same. Countries only add their own digits after that.
The wording of the heading names turf. So tufted turf-style floor coverings belong with this heading, as long as the fibre fits one of the subcodes below.
HS 5703 subcodes by fibre
Under 5703, the subcode is chosen by the material of the tufted carpet. Nylon and other polyamides get two codes. Other man-made fibres get two codes. Wool and all remaining fibres get one each.
- This wording also includes turf.
How to choose the right 5703 code
Work through three checks. Do them in order and keep notes on each answer.
- Step 1: Confirm the carpet is tufted. If it is knotted, woven or felt, it belongs to another heading.
- Step 2: Find the main fibre of the surface. Is it wool, nylon, another man-made fibre, or something else?
- Step 3: Match that fibre to one subcode in the list above. Read both subcode texts if two seem close.
- Step 4: Check your own country's rules. National tariff lines often add digits after the first six, so the full import code can be longer.
5703 vs other Chapter 57 headings
Chapter 57 sorts floor coverings by how they are made. Tufted goods go to 5703. The other headings cover different methods.
Heading 5701 is for knotted carpets. It also names hand-woven rugs such as kelem, schumacks and karamanie. Heading 5705 holds floor coverings that are not named anywhere else in the chapter.
So the difference between 5702 and 5703 is the method. Woven carpets are made on a loom. Tufted carpets have yarn stitched into a backing. If you are unsure which method applies, try the HS code classifier.
