5701 — Carpets and other textile floor coverings; knotted, whether or not made up
Chapter 57: Carpets and other textile floor coverings
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5701 when importing knotted carpets and other textile floor coverings, such as a handwoven wool rug or a synthetic fiber carpet. This heading includes both finished and unfinished products, allowing for a variety of textile materials.
When deciding between HS-6 570110 and HS-6 570190, consider the material composition. If your carpet is made of wool or fine animal hair, classify it under 570110. For carpets made from synthetic fibers or other textile materials, use 570190.
Both subheadings cover knotted carpets, but the distinction lies in the fiber type. A luxurious wool carpet will fall under 570110, while a durable nylon carpet should be classified as 570190. This choice affects duty rates and import regulations.
Ensure you also check for any national digits that may apply in your country, as they can further specify the classification and duty rates for your specific products.
