Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. exports of Tufted Textile Floor Coverings of Nylon or Other Polyamides (SITC 65942) totaled $26.6M in August 2026.

Last updated: August 2026 dataNylon and polyamide tufted carpets dominate the commercial and institutional flooring sector due to their exceptional durability, stain resistance, and ease of maintenance — characteristics that make them a staple in hospitality, healthcare, and office environments. From a trade-remedy standpoint, importers should verify whether specific supplier countries are subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders on tufted synthetic carpets, as such orders have historically affected this product category. Fiber identification — confirming that the pile is nylon or another polyamide rather than polyester or polypropylene — is essential for accurate classification, since those alternatives fall under a separate heading. Bulk commercial rolls and cut-to-size tiles may also be treated differently in terms of unit of measure and valuation.

The fiber type in the pile — not the backing — determines classification. Laboratory burn tests, solubility tests, or manufacturer fiber composition certificates can confirm whether the pile yarn is nylon (polyamide 6 or 6,6), polyester, or polypropylene. Nylon and polyamide fibers fall under this heading, while polyester and polypropylene tufted carpets classify under the manmade fibers (not nylon) heading. Misidentification can result in duty underpayment or overpayment.
Yes. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have been applied to tufted synthetic carpets from certain countries in the past. Importers should conduct an AD/CVD scope review with a licensed customs broker before finalizing supplier contracts, as scope language can be technical and country-specific. Failure to deposit AD/CVD duties at entry can result in significant retroactive liability.
