Classification of coir carpets under HS 5702.20
Coir carpets are classified under HS code 5702.20. Chapter 57 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to carpets and other textile floor coverings. Heading 5702 covers woven textile floor coverings that are not tufted or flocked. The subheading 5702.20 is a specific category for floor coverings made of coconut fibers, commonly known as coir. Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the outer husk of coconuts. To be classified under this code, the product must be a finished floor covering or a material of a kind used for floor coverings, and the essential character of the item must be derived from the woven coir. These products are known for their durability and are often used as doormats or in high-traffic areas. The classification requires that the item be woven, which involves the interlacing of warp and weft yarns. This distinguishes it from non-woven mats or mats where the coir is simply embedded into a PVC or rubber backing without a traditional weave, though many commercial coir mats with backings are still classified here if the face is woven. The material composition and the construction method are the two primary factors for this classification.

Codes often confused with 5702.20
Common mistake. Coir carpets are often confused with 5703.90, which covers tufted carpets made of other textile materials. If the coir fibers are inserted into a pre-existing base rather than woven together, the product is tufted. Another common misclassification is 4601.21, which covers mats and screens of vegetable materials; however, Chapter 57 takes precedence for products clearly intended as textile floor coverings. Finally, 5705.00 is sometimes used for other carpets, but 5702.20 is the more specific code for woven coir.

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).
