What HS 5702.42 covers
This category covers woven carpets and textile floor coverings that are "made up" (finished products like area rugs or fitted carpets), constructed with a pile, and manufactured from man-made textile materials. These products offer a balance of durability, stain resistance, and affordability, making them popular for both residential and commercial applications. Importers include large retail chains, home improvement stores, and online flooring distributors. Exporters are typically countries with advanced textile manufacturing capabilities and access to synthetic fiber production. Key trade considerations include the specific synthetic fiber used (e.g., nylon, polyester, polypropylene), pile height and density, backing type, and compliance with various performance standards such as wear resistance and flammability ratings. The market is highly competitive, driven by consumer trends and technological advancements in fiber and weaving.

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).
