With the continuous development of global trade, the demand for imports of carpet products is gradually increasing. However, importing carpet to the Chinese market is not an easy task. Enterprises must strictly follow the Import and Export Tariffs of the People's Republic of China and related regulations to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all declared information in order to avoid problems in the customs sector. Understanding and mastering the regulations and processes for importing carpet is not only the key to smoothly entering the market, but also an important means of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises.

Importation of carpet products

a) Classification of goods

According to the "Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China", carpets are classified as carpets and other floor products of textile materials, tax numbers are 5701, 5702, 5703, 5704 and 5705 HS codes beginning, of which 5701 are fabricated carpets, 5702 for machine-woven carpets (including "Kaylam" "Sumaq" "Kalamani" and similar hand-woven carpets), 5703 for fabricated carpets, 5704 for fabricated carpets, 5705 for other carpets.

(B) Import declaration elements

According to the "Chinese People's Republic of Import and Export Goods Specification Declaration Catalogue", the declaration elements of carpets include: 1, product name; 2, brand type; 3, benefits; 4, weaving methods (flower, hand tissue, etc.); 5, fiber composition; 6, specification size; 7, GTIN (global trade project code); 8, CAS (chemical substances registration code); 9, others.

In the declaration process, importing enterprises should ensure the accuracy and completeness of all information, avoid incomplete information or errors, in case of uncertainty, should communicate with the customs in a timely manner to obtain guidance and assistance.

As the Customs Board updates the Import and Export Tariffs of the People's Republic of China and the Import and Export Goods Regulations of the People's Republic of China, enterprises must pay attention to the latest information released by the Customs in a timely manner to ensure the timeliness of the declaration elements.

d) Disposal of non-qualified goods

According to the "Import and Export of Goods Inspection Law of the People's Republic of China Implementation Regulations", the goods involving the safety of personal property, health, environmental protection projects are not qualified, the customs issued the inspection and treatment notification, ordering the parties to return or destroy the non-qualified carpet. other items are not qualified, can be processed under customs supervision, after re-inspection qualified, can be sold or used.

Imports of Carpets

Imported carpet products must comply with the provisions of the Internal Decoration Materials Carpet, carpet mattresses and carpet adhesive harmful substances release limit (GB 18587-2001), carpet use instructions and labels (GB/T 28476-2012), hand-wrapped sheepwood carpet (GB/T 15050-2008), weaving carpet (GB/T 14252-2008), plummeting carpet (GB/T 11746-2008) and other provisions, and can be imported and marketed by relevant parties.

Specific requirements are as follows:

Use instructions and signs:When importing or selling various kinds of carpets, according to the requirements of the standard "Capped Use Instructions and Marks" (GB / T 28476 - 2012), the name and address of the manufacturer, the name of the product, the size specification, the name and content of the carpet head fiber, the total thickness of the carpet and the thickness of the base head of the carpet, the overall surface quality of the unit, the product standard number, the quality level, the place of application, the special performance requirements of the product (such as anti-static, flammable, flammable, anti-bacterial and anti-insect resistance).

and resistance:The wear resistance of the carpet is an important indicator of durability. Usually it is seen that the carpet is worn under fixed pressure to the number of wear resistance needed when exposing the back cover, the greater the number of wear resistance, indicating the better wear resistance. The wear resistance of the carpet is excellent, related to the materials used, the length of the fur, the weaving method and so on.

The antielectricity:Represents the performance of electricity and discharge of carpets.In general, chemical fibers are poorly conductive when they are not resistant to electrical treatment, static electricity is large, dusty, and dust cleaning is difficult.

The combustion performance:Carpet is made of natural fiber, artificial fiber and synthetic fiber processing, the fiber nature makes it more flammable or flammable, in order to protect the safety of users, China has clear requirements for the flammability of carpets, generally must pass the combustion performance test to be used; for the use of high-rise buildings, hospitals, schools, mass gathering places and flammable work areas such as floor materials must comply with the "building materials and products combustion performance classification" (GB 8624-2012) in combustion performance test.

Through accurate commodity classification, specification declaration elements and strict compliance with relevant standards, enterprises can effectively avoid risks and uncertainties in the importation process.
