Last updated: April 2026 dataVinyl, polyurethane, and similar polymer-coated floor coverings mounted on a textile or nonwoven substrate fall here when linoleum is excluded — a distinction that frequently trips up classification between Chapter 59 and Chapter 57 (carpets) or Chapter 39 (plastics). The US schedule breaks the heading into coverings on nonwoven bases (5904901000, 5904909000) versus other textile-backed constructions (5904900000), and the substrate type — woven versus nonwoven — is the operative classification criterion. These products serve commercial flooring, hospitality, and healthcare sectors where dimensional stability and cleanability are priorities.

The key is construction and essential character: Chapter 59 applies when a textile backing is coated or covered with a polymer layer and the product functions as a floor covering — but the textile component must be present and functional. If the floor covering is entirely of plastics with no textile backing, it classifies in Chapter 39. Woven pile or tufted constructions classify in Chapter 57 regardless of any coating. Consult a licensed customs broker for borderline constructions.
Yes. The US 10-digit schedule specifically separates coverings on a nonwoven base (5904901000 and 5904909000) from other textile-backed floor coverings (5904900000), so correctly identifying the backing construction is essential before filing entry documents.
