HS Code for Woven wool rugs

HS code 5702.41 is applied to woven textile floor coverings that are made of wool or fine animal hair and feature a pile construction. This code is situated within Chapter 57, which covers carpets and other textile floor coverings. To be classified under 5702.41, the rug must be produced via a weaving process, such as on a power loom using Axminster or Wilton techniques, and must not be tufted or flocked. The 'pile construction' refers to the presence of raised loops or cut strands of yarn that form the surface of the carpet. Furthermore, the rug must be 'made up,' meaning it is finished for use with bound edges or fringe. This subheading specifically excludes flat-woven rugs like Kelims, Sumaks, and Karamanies, which are classified under 5702.10. The material composition is a primary driver of this classification; if the pile is made of synthetic fibers instead of wool, it would fall under 5702.42. Accurate classification requires a laboratory analysis of the fiber content and a physical inspection of the weaving technique to ensure it is not tufted. The distinction between 'wool' and 'fine animal hair' (such as mohair or cashmere) is also relevant, though both fall under this specific subheading.
