About HS Code 570210

This HS code covers woven carpets and other textile floor coverings that are *not* tufted or flocked, including traditional hand-woven types like Kilim, Soumak, and Karamanie rugs. These flat-weave carpets are distinct from knotted varieties, often characterized by their intricate patterns, reversible designs, and lighter weight. They are highly valued for their artisanal quality, cultural significance, and versatility in interior design. International trade is fueled by demand for authentic, handcrafted textiles and unique decorative pieces. Major importers are typically countries with a strong market for home decor, cultural goods, and specialty textiles, such as the USA, Germany, and the UK. Exporters are often countries with rich weaving traditions and skilled artisans. Key trade considerations include the origin, material (often wool, cotton, or blends), complexity of the weave, and the cultural narrative associated with the design, all contributing to their appeal and market value.
