Classification of wool pile carpets under HS 5702.41
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.

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).
