What HS 5802.30 covers
This HS code covers tufted textile fabrics, specifically excluding finished products of heading 5703 (carpets and other textile floor coverings). These fabrics are created by inserting loops or cut piles of yarn into a pre-woven base fabric, forming a dense, textured surface. They are a crucial intermediate product in the manufacturing of various floor coverings, bath mats, and even some automotive textiles. International trade in these fabrics is primarily between textile mills and manufacturers specializing in flooring, rugs, and automotive interiors. The type of yarn used (e.g., nylon, polypropylene, wool), pile height, and density are key specifications that determine the fabric's durability, appearance, and end-use application. Exporters often benefit from economies of scale in large-volume production.

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).
