Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 570299 when importing or exporting woven carpets and textile floor coverings that are not made from man-made fibers or wool. This includes items like hand-woven rugs that fall outside specific categories like fine animal hair or pile construction. For example, a shipment of a hand-woven cotton rug would be classified under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 570210, which covers woven carpets made from wool or fine animal hair. If your product is made from cotton or other textile materials, 570299 is the appropriate choice. Additionally, HS-6 570220 includes woven carpets made from man-made fibers, so be cautious to classify correctly based on the material composition.
HS-6 570299 specifically includes made-up woven carpets and floor coverings that do not fit into the more specific categories outlined in 5702.10 or 5702.20. This means you can include items like decorative woven mats or rugs that are crafted from natural fibers like cotton or jute but do not have a pile construction.
