Last updated: April 2026 dataFlat-woven carpets and textile floor coverings that are not of pile construction and are sold in an unmade-up state — meaning not cut to shape, hemmed, or finished as individual rugs — occupy a specific niche in the trade, often imported as roll goods for subsequent cutting and finishing by domestic converters or retailers. The 'not made up' condition is a classification-critical distinction: the same flat-woven fabric, once hemmed or bound into a finished rug, may classify differently. This heading captures a range of fiber types not separately enumerated, making it a residual category for woven non-pile floor covering materials. Importers and converters should document the unfinished state of goods at the time of importation to support classification.

'Not made up' means the floor covering material has not been cut to a specific shape or size and has not been finished with hems, fringes, or binding — it is essentially roll goods or unfinished fabric. Once the same material is cut, hemmed, or otherwise finished into a discrete rug or mat, it may reclassify as a made-up textile article. Importers bringing in roll goods for domestic finishing should document the unfinished state at entry to support the classification.
Yes, importing unfinished flat-woven floor covering material and finishing it domestically is a recognized trade practice. However, the importer must ensure the goods genuinely meet the 'not made up' condition at the time of entry. If CBP determines the goods were already finished or cut to shape before importation, they may be reclassified as made-up floor coverings, potentially at a different duty rate. Maintaining production and shipping records that confirm the unfinished state is advisable.
