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.

As a significant contributor to international trade, the 5704 industry is an important component of the broader textile and floor covering sectors, which are closely tied to construction, real estate, and home furnishing markets.

Production process

The production of felt-based floor coverings under HS code 5704 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as wool, synthetic fibers, or a blend, are processed and felted to create the desired textile base. This felting process can be achieved through mechanical, chemical, or a combination of techniques, depending on the specific product requirements. The felted material is then cut, shaped, and finished to the desired dimensions and specifications, which may include additional treatments like dyeing, printing, or the application of backings or other surface finishes.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 5704 industry include a variety of textile fibers, such as wool, polyester, nylon, and acrylic. These raw materials are essential for the production of the felt-based floor coverings. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the felting, cutting, and finishing processes, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the manufacturing and treatment of the final products.
