About carpets and other textile floor coverings; of felt, (not tufted or flocked), whether or not made up

HS code 5704 covers a diverse range of textile floor coverings made from felt, excluding those that are tufted or flocked. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and interior design sectors, providing durable and versatile flooring solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. As a significant contributor to the broader economy, the 5704 industry is closely linked to various downstream industries that rely on its outputs.

Production process

The production of felt-based floor coverings under HS code 5704 typically involves a multi-step process. The primary raw material, felt, is first manufactured through a process of matting, condensing, and stabilizing natural or synthetic fibers. The felt is then cut, shaped, and finished to create the desired floor covering designs, which may include patterns, textures, and various edge treatments. Depending on the specific product, additional processing steps such as dyeing, printing, or lamination may be employed to enhance the aesthetic and functional properties of the final floor covering.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 5704 industry include natural and synthetic fibers, such as wool, polyester, or acrylic, which are used to produce the felt base. Additionally, the industry relies on various chemicals, dyes, and finishing agents to enhance the durability, appearance, and performance of the floor coverings. Specialized machinery, such as felt-making equipment, cutting and shaping tools, and finishing equipment, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 5704 industry are a diverse range of felt-based floor coverings, including area rugs, wall-to-wall carpets, and other textile floor coverings. These products are often consumed by the 4303 Carpets and other textile floor coverings industry, as well as the 4304 Linoleum, whether or not cut to shape; floor coverings consisting of a coating or covering applied on a textile backing, whether or not cut to shape and 4305 Textile wall coverings industries, which may incorporate 5704 products into their own offerings.
