Classification of woven pile carpets under HS 5702.49
HS code 570249 applies to woven pile carpets and other textile floor coverings that are 'made up' and composed of textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers. This classification falls under heading 5702, which covers woven carpets that are not tufted or flocked. The 'pile construction' refers to a surface consisting of upright yarns or fibers that are woven into the backing. Subheading 570249 is a specific residual category for carpets made of materials such as cotton, silk, jute, or other vegetable fibers. The term 'made up' is defined in Section XI Note 7, meaning the carpets are finished for retail sale, often with hemmed edges, fringes, or bound borders. The classification process involves first identifying the manufacturing method (woven), then the surface structure (pile), and finally the material composition. This code is used when the carpet does not meet the criteria for the more specific subheadings involving wool or synthetic materials.

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).
