5702.49

Analysis

Subheading 5702.49 covers of other textile materials, within heading 5702. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.

2 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4%. The median line pays duty-free.

The US splits it as follows: 5702.49.10 for of other textile materials: of cotton (duty-free), 5702.49.15 for of other textile materials: of jute (duty-free) and 5702.49.20 for of other textile materials: other (4%).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Carpet and Rug Mills (314110). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.

Goods only reach 5702.49 once they fall within heading 5702 (carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not tufted or flocked, whether or not…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
