What HS 5701.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers hand-knotted carpets and other textile floor coverings made from wool or fine animal hair, whether they are finished or in a semi-finished state. These are often high-value items, renowned for their craftsmanship, intricate designs, and durability. International trade in these goods is driven by demand for luxury home furnishings, cultural artifacts, and investment pieces. Major importers include affluent countries in North America and Europe, where there's a strong appreciation for traditional and artisanal textiles. Exporters are typically countries with long-standing traditions in carpet weaving, possessing skilled labor and access to quality wool or fine animal hair. Key aspects influencing trade include the origin (e.g., Persian, Oriental), knot density, dye quality, and the specific type of wool or animal hair used, all contributing to their unique aesthetic and market value.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
