Classification of textile pile rugs under HS 5702.49

HS code 5702.49 identifies woven textile floor coverings that feature a pile construction and are 'made up' (finished for use). This classification is part of Heading 5702, which covers woven carpets that are not tufted or flocked. The subheading 5702.49 is specifically for rugs made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers. This typically includes luxury or natural fiber rugs made from silk, jute, sisal, or coconut fibers (coir). The term 'pile construction' refers to the raised surface of the rug, created by upright loops or strands of yarn. To be classified here, the rug must be a finished product (made up) rather than a continuous roll of carpeting. The distinction between woven and tufted is critical, as tufted rugs are classified under heading 5703.

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).
