“Carpets and other textile floor coverings; of felt, (not tufted or flocked), whether or not made up” divides three ways under heading 5704 — 570410, 570420 and 570490. Each carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 4 of 5 in Chapter 57, Carpets and other textile floor coverings, which runs to 24 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 5704 covers
Felt is a fabric made by pressing fibres together instead of weaving them. Floor coverings made this way belong here. They can be loose pieces or finished, made-up items.
The test has two parts. The item must be felt. It must also be neither tufted nor flocked. Tufting pushes yarn through a backing to form loops or cut pile. Flocking sticks short fibres onto a surface. A floor covering with either feature goes to a different heading.
List of HS codes under heading 5704
The three codes differ in one way only: the size of a single piece. The wording in the table above is what a classification has to match. In plain terms:
- 570410: felt tiles, the smallest pieces. These are the felt carpet tiles.
- 570420: felt carpets and floor coverings above the tile limit, up to and including 1 m2.
How to choose the right sub-code
Work through these steps in order. Stop as soon as one step fails.
National tariffs often extend the shared six-digit codes with extra digits. Duty and tax rates are set by each country, so check them with your local customs rules. The HS code classifier can help you confirm a product.
- Step 1: Confirm the item is a textile floor covering made of felt.
- Step 2: Confirm it is not tufted or flocked.
- Step 3: Measure the maximum surface area of one piece.
- Step 4: Match that size to the tile, the mid-size band or the over 1 m2 group above.
5704 vs other Chapter 57 headings
Chapter 57 splits carpets by how they are made. Felt is its own group.
Knotted carpets, where the pile is tied in, go under 5701. That group includes kelem, schumacks, karamanie and similar hand-woven rugs. Floor coverings that fit none of these groups go under 5705.
So a felt tile with tufts added would leave 5704 and move to the tufted heading.
