Carpets and other textile floor coverings; of felt, (not tufted or flocked), whether or not made up

In plain English

This category includes felt floor coverings that are neither tufted nor flocked, regardless of whether they are finished or sold in rolls. The items are sorted by their size into three groups based on maximum surface area. One group covers pieces with a surface area of 0.3 square meters or less. Another group includes those with an area larger than 0.3 but no more than 1 square meter, while the final group contains items exceeding 1 square meter.
