HS code 5702.91 is the 6-digit subheading for carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, (not tufted or flocked), of wool or fine animal hair, (not of pile construction), made up, n.e.c. in item no. 5702.10 or 5702.20. It is used for wool kilim rugs, dhurrie wool rugs, flat-weave wool area rugs, hand-woven wool runners (no pile) and cashmere flat-weave mats.

What HS 5702.91 covers

This HS code specifically covers "made up" (finished) woven carpets and textile floor coverings that are "not of pile construction" (flat weave), and are made from wool or fine animal hair. These are often high-quality, durable flat-weave rugs, such as kilims, dhurries, or other traditional woven mats. Importers typically include specialty rug stores, interior designers, and retailers focusing on artisanal or heritage products. Exporters are often countries with a rich history of wool weaving and traditional craftsmanship. Key trade considerations include the type of wool or animal hair, the intricacy of the weave pattern, natural dye usage, and the cultural significance or origin of the design. The market values the unique textures, patterns, and often reversible nature of these flat-woven wool products.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
