About carpets and other textile floor coverings; tufted, of nylon or other polyamides, whether or not made up

HS code 570321 covers a significant segment of the textile floor coverings industry, specifically tufted carpets and rugs made from nylon or other polyamide fibers. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential flooring solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.

Production process

The production of tufted carpets and rugs under HS code 570321 typically involves a multi-step process. The primary raw materials, nylon or other polyamide fibers, are first spun into yarn. These yarns are then tufted into a primary backing material, such as woven jute or polypropylene. The tufted fabric is then coated with a latex or other adhesive to secure the tufts and provide stability. Finally, the carpet or rug may undergo additional finishing processes, such as shearing, dyeing, or the application of a secondary backing, to enhance its appearance and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of tufted carpets and rugs under HS code 570321 include nylon or other polyamide fibers, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on various machinery and equipment, such as tufting machines, coating and laminating equipment, and finishing tools. Other significant inputs include the primary backing material (e.g., jute, polypropylene), adhesives, and dyes or other finishing agents.
