Last updated: August 2026 dataFloor mats, wall screens, and matting woven or assembled from vegetable-origin fibers — such as coir, jute, seagrass, or bamboo — serve both functional and decorative roles in construction, interior design, and agricultural applications. The vegetable-material specification is the defining classification criterion, distinguishing these goods from synthetic or textile-fiber matting. Because these products are derived from plant materials, USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements may apply, and importers should ensure that phytosanitary certificates accompany shipments of minimally processed natural-fiber goods.

Common materials include coir (coconut fiber), jute, sisal, seagrass, bamboo strips, and rush. The material composition affects both classification and phytosanitary requirements, so importers should document fiber type on commercial invoices.
SITC 89974 is limited to mats and matting made from vegetable-origin materials. Matting constructed from synthetic fibers (polypropylene, nylon) or from textile yarns falls under different SITC headings. When a mat combines vegetable and synthetic components, the essential character of the material typically determines classification.
