What determines the tariff number?
- Fibre material. Carpets made from wool, polyamide, synthetics or other textile fibres are classified differently. The material is the primary factor determining the tariff position.
- Manufacturing method. Hand-woven carpets (Kelim, Sumak) have different tariff classifications than tufted or flocked variants. The production technique is a key classification criterion.
- Finish and construction. Whether finished, flocked or with special surface treatments – the construction method significantly affects the exact customs tariff number.
