HS code for Rugs: 5705.00
Carpets and other textile floor coverings, n.e.c. in chapter 57, whether or not made up.
Classification of rugs under HS 5705.00
HS Code 5705.00 serves as a residual category for carpets and other textile floor coverings that are not specifically covered by headings 5701 through 5704. This includes rugs where the textile material serves as the exposed surface when in use. Classification under Chapter 57 is determined by the construction method and the materials used. Heading 5705 specifically includes rugs that are neither knotted, tufted, nor woven in the traditional sense defined in the preceding headings, such as certain types of bonded or felt-based floor coverings that do not meet the criteria for needleloom felt under 5704. The classification is based on the finished nature of the product and its primary function as a floor covering, regardless of whether it is made of wool, synthetic fibers, or other textile materials.

Codes often confused with 5705.00
Common mistake. Rugs are often misclassified under 5701.10 (knotted wool carpets), 5702.32 (woven synthetic carpets), or 5703.20 (tufted nylon carpets). Importers often default to these codes without verifying the specific manufacturing process. If a rug is tufted, it must go in 5703; if it is woven on a loom, it belongs in 5702. HS code 5705.00 should only be used when the construction method does not fit the technical definitions of 5701-5704.

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).
