HS Code 5703.10 – Carpets and other textile floor coverings (including turf); tufted, of wool or fine animal hair, whether or not made up
HS code 5703.10 is the 6-digit subheading for carpets and other textile floor coverings (including turf), tufted, of wool or fine animal hair, whether or not made up. It is used for hand-tufted wool rugs, machine-tufted wool carpets, fine animal hair area rugs, custom wool broadloom and tufted cashmere blend carpets.
What HS 5703.10 covers
This code encompasses high-end, tufted floor coverings crafted from natural fibers like wool or fine animal hair. In international trade, these goods are often seen as luxury or premium items, valued for their durability, insulation properties, and aesthetic appeal. Major importers include developed economies with strong consumer purchasing power and a demand for quality home furnishings, such as the United States, Germany, and the UK. Exporters typically come from countries with established textile industries and access to raw wool, like New Zealand, Australia (for raw materials), and manufacturing hubs in Europe or Asia. Key things to know involve the distinction between machine-tufted and hand-tufted products, the importance of fiber origin (e.g., Merino wool), and the impact of design trends on market demand. The trade often involves specialized distributors, interior designers, and high-end retail chains.

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).
