Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. imports of Tufted Textile Floor Coverings of Manmade Fibers (Excluding Nylon/Polyamides) (SITC 65943) totaled $49.6M in August 2026, imported from 50 countries.
Importers of Tufted Textile Floor Coverings of Manmade Fibers (Excluding Nylon/Polyamides) paid $8.4M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 17.08% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Tufted Textile Floor Coverings of Manmade Fibers (Excluding Nylon/Polyamides) imports of $49.6M in August 2026 ran 18% above the year-to-date monthly average of $41.9M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataPolyester and polypropylene (olefin) tufted carpets and rugs — the primary articles in this residual manmade-fiber category — are widely used in residential, retail, and outdoor applications where cost efficiency and moisture resistance are priorities. Polypropylene in particular has gained significant market share in indoor-outdoor and area rug segments due to its inherent hydrophobic properties and UV stability. Classification here requires that the pile fiber be a manmade material other than nylon or polyamide; blended-fiber products require careful analysis of predominant fiber content by weight. Importers sourcing from major producing countries should assess Section 301 tariff exposure, which has affected manmade-fiber textile imports from certain origins.

Yes, polypropylene (olefin) is a manmade fiber that is not a polyamide, so tufted carpets with polypropylene pile classify under this heading rather than the nylon/polyamide heading. At entry, CBP may request fiber content certificates or laboratory analysis to confirm the pile fiber identity. The distinction matters because the two headings can carry different duty rates.
Tufted carpets of manmade fibers originating in China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the current tariff list applicability and any exclusion orders with a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 lists and exclusion statuses are periodically updated. The additional duty applies on top of the normal column 1 rate and must be deposited at entry.
