HS Code 5705.00 – Carpets and other textile floor coverings; n.e.c. in chapter 57, whether or not made up
HS code 5705.00 is the 6-digit subheading for carpets and other textile floor coverings, n.e.c. in chapter 57, whether or not made up. It is used for jute area rugs, coir doormats, braided cotton rugs, sisal floor mats and paper yarn carpets.
What HS 5705.00 covers
This "not elsewhere specified" (NES) code acts as a catch-all for textile floor coverings that don't fit into the more specific categories within Chapter 57, such as woven, tufted, or felt carpets. It often includes innovative or niche products, or those made from unusual materials or manufacturing methods not explicitly covered by other headings. Importers and exporters dealing with these goods might be looking for specialized solutions, unique designs, or cost-effective alternatives. Developing countries with emerging textile industries might export these, while a wide range of countries could import them based on specific project needs or consumer preferences. Key considerations include the specific material composition (e.g., coir, jute, paper yarn, or blends), the manufacturing process (e.g., braided, needle-punched non-wovens not specifically covered elsewhere), and whether they are in rolls or cut to size. This code highlights the diversity and evolving nature of the floor covering market.

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).
