Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 570291 when importing or exporting woven carpets made from wool or fine animal hair, such as a hand-woven Persian rug. These carpets are typically not tufted or flocked and can be made up into finished products.

This code specifically applies to carpets that are made up and not of pile construction, distinguishing them from similar products like tufted carpets classified under HS-6 5702. If you have a wool carpet that is not tufted, this is the right code.

When comparing with HS-6 570292, which covers carpets made from synthetic fibers, remember that 570291 is strictly for those crafted from natural animal fibers. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.

Ensure your product descriptions specify the material and construction type, as this will help customs brokers classify your items correctly. For example, a finished wool carpet measuring 2x3 meters would fall under this code.
