HS code for Textile rugs: 5702.99
Carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, (not tufted or flocked), of textile materials (other than man-made or wool or fine animal hair, not of pile construction), made up, n.e.c. in item no. 5702.10 or 5702.20.
Classification of textile rugs under HS 5702.99
HS code 5702.99 is applied to textile floor coverings that are woven but not tufted or flocked. This specific code is reserved for rugs and carpets made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers, such as cotton, silk, flax, or jute. The classification depends on the manufacturing technique—specifically the weaving process—and the composition of the pile or surface material. Unlike tufted carpets where yarns are inserted into a pre-existing backing, these rugs are constructed by interlacing warp and weft yarns simultaneously. Because 5702.99 is a residual category within the woven carpet heading, it excludes specific types like Kelem or Schumacks (5702.10) and floor coverings made of coconut fiber (5702.20). Accurate classification requires verifying both the weaving method and the fiber content to ensure the product does not fall under more specific material-based codes. The "made up" status indicates the rug is finished with hemmed edges or fringes, ready for use. This code is vital for tracking the trade of natural fiber rugs that are not wool-based, which often have different tariff rates and environmental regulations compared to synthetic alternatives.

Codes often confused with 5702.99
Common mistake. Common misclassifications occur with HS code 5703, which covers tufted carpets, and HS code 5701, which is for knotted carpets. Additionally, if the rug is made of wool or man-made fibers, it must be classified under other subheadings of 5702, such as 5702.31 or 5702.32. Confusion also arises with 5705.00, which covers "other" carpets not woven, tufted, or flocked, such as needleloom felt carpets.

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).
