HS code for Woven rugs: 5702.50
Carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, (not tufted or flocked), not of pile construction, not made up, n.e.c. in item no. 5702.10 or 5702.20.
Classification of woven rugs under HS 5702.50
Woven rugs that are not of pile construction and not "made up" in the sense of specific hand-woven types like Kelim or Soumak are classified under HS code 5702.50. Chapter 57 covers carpets and other textile floor coverings. Heading 5702 specifically includes woven carpets that are not tufted or flocked. The subheading 5702.50 is a residual category for woven floor coverings that do not feature a pile (the raised surface of yarn). This includes flat-woven rugs where the design is created by the interlacing of the warp and weft threads themselves, such as certain types of flat-weave area rugs. To be classified here, the product must be intended as a floor covering, which is generally distinguished from other textile articles by its thickness, stiffness, and durability. The classification is based on the method of manufacture (weaving) and the absence of a pile surface, regardless of the textile material used, though the material may affect the 10-digit statistical suffix.

Codes often confused with 5702.50
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is 5702.31, which is for woven pile carpets of wool. If a rug has a raised surface, it cannot be in 5702.50. Another error is 5703.10, which is for tufted carpets. Importers also frequently confuse these with 5702.10, which is specifically for Kelem, Schumacks, Karamanie and similar hand-woven rugs. Understanding the technical difference between a "pile" construction and a "flat-weave" construction is the most common hurdle in this classification.

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).
