About HS Code 570220

This HS code specifically identifies woven carpets and other textile floor coverings made from coir, which are natural coconut fibers. A key characteristic is that these products are not tufted or flocked; instead, their pile or surface texture is created through the weaving process itself. Coir carpets are highly valued for their natural, rustic aesthetic, exceptional durability, and inherent resistance to moisture, rot, and insects, making them particularly suitable for high-traffic areas, outdoor use, and marine environments. Key exporters are typically countries with significant coconut production and processing capabilities, such as India and Sri Lanka. Importers include retailers, interior designers, and hospitality sectors in Western markets, seeking sustainable, robust, and naturally textured flooring solutions for both residential and commercial applications.
