The carpet features an adhesive coating and a secondary jute backing. Large floats create a leaf pattern on the face of the rug. It is not considered to be of pile construction. The carpet will be imported in 400 centimeter widths. As requested the representative sample is being returned.

The duty rate will be 6.5 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
