Analysis
Heading 5705 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other carpets and other textile floor coverings, whether or not made up. It has 2 tariff lines.
1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3.3%. The median line pays 1.65%.
Its lines are 5705.00.10 for other carpets and other textile floor coverings, whether or… (duty-free) and 5705.00.20 for other carpets and other textile floor coverings, whether or… (3.3%).
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.
Its median rate of 1.65% sits at the 40th percentile of the headings in chapter 57.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
