Classification of woven carpets under HS 5702.10
Woven carpets classified under HS code 570210 are identified by their specific manufacturing technique and traditional flat-woven structure. According to the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes, heading 5702 encompasses carpets and other textile floor coverings that are woven but not tufted or flocked. Subheading 570210 is specifically reserved for traditional rugs such as Kelem (Kilim), Schumacks, Karamanie, and similar hand-woven items. These products are distinct because they are produced by interlacing warp and weft threads to create a flat surface without a raised pile. The classification follows General Interpretative Rule (GRI) 1, as the heading text specifically names these types of rugs. Unlike machine-made carpets, these items are often hand-woven and are classified here regardless of whether they are 'made up' (finished with fringes or hems). The technical distinction lies in the absence of a knotted pile or a tufted base, making the weaving process the primary determinant for this classification.

Codes often confused with 5702.10
Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying these rugs under HS code 570110, which is reserved for knotted carpets. While both may be hand-made, 570110 requires a knotted pile, whereas 570210 is strictly for flat-woven structures. Another common mistake is using 570231, which refers to woven carpets of wool that are not made up and possess a pile construction. Because Kelem rugs are flat-woven, they must remain in 570210 even if they are made of wool.

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).
