Carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, (not tufted or flocked), whether or not made up, including kelem, schumacks, karamanie and similar hand-woven rugs.
Classification of hand-woven rugs under HS 5702.10
Hand-woven rugs, specifically those identified as Kelem (Kilim), Schumacks, Karamanie, and similar flat-weaves, are classified under HS code 5702.10. Unlike knotted rugs, these items are produced by interlacing the warp and weft threads without a raised pile. Heading 5702 covers carpets and other textile floor coverings that are woven but not tufted or flocked. The subheading 5702.10 is a specific provision for these traditional hand-woven styles which are often reversible and characterized by their flat surface. The classification is based on the "woven" nature of the textile and the specific technical style of the weave. Customs officials look for the absence of knots and the specific interlacing pattern that defines these products. Even if these rugs are made of wool, their construction method (weaving vs. knotting) dictates their placement in 5702 rather than 5701. This code is particularly important for identifying traditional flat-woven textiles that carry significant cultural and commercial value in international trade.

Codes often confused with 5702.10
Common mistake. Hand-woven rugs are most often misclassified under 5701.10, which is the code for hand-knotted rugs. While both are handmade, the technical construction is entirely different; 5701.10 requires knots, while 5702.10 is for flat-weaves. Another common error is using 5702.31, which covers machine-woven wool carpets. While 5702.31 also describes woven rugs, 5702.10 is the specific "preferred" subheading for the named varieties like Kilims and Schumacks, regardless of whether they are wool or other materials, due to their unique hand-woven nature.

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).
