HS Code for Wool pile carpets
HS code 5702.41 is designated for woven carpets and other textile floor coverings made of wool or fine animal hair that feature a pile construction and are "made up." The term "woven" refers to the traditional interlacing of warp and weft threads on a loom, which distinguishes these items from tufted carpets (5703) or knotted carpets (5701). The "pile construction" indicates that the surface of the carpet consists of raised loops or cut yarns that provide thickness and texture. The designation "made up" implies that the carpets are finished products, often with hemmed edges, borders, or fringes, and are ready for immediate use or retail sale. This code specifically excludes flat-weave floor coverings without a pile, such as Kilims or Soumaks, which are classified under 5102.10. Accurate classification depends on verifying both the weaving technique and the fiber content of the pile surface.
