What HS 5701.90 covers
This HS code covers hand-knotted carpets and other textile floor coverings made from materials *other than* wool or fine animal hair. This includes a variety of natural fibers like cotton, jute, sisal, and synthetic fibers such as polypropylene or nylon. These carpets often offer a more affordable or specialized alternative to their wool counterparts, catering to different aesthetic preferences, durability requirements, or environmental considerations. International trade is driven by demand for decorative, durable, or eco-friendly floor coverings. Importers include retailers and interior designers seeking diverse options for residential and commercial spaces. Exporters are typically countries with strong textile manufacturing capabilities, able to produce knotted carpets from a range of materials. Key trade factors include the specific fiber type, knot density, design complexity, and whether the material offers benefits like stain resistance or biodegradability, broadening their appeal in global markets.

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).
