Hand-Hooked Cashmere Blend Rug from Japan
An elegant rug blending cashmere (fine animal hair) with wool, hand-hooked tufts knotted by hand tool for ultra-luxury feel. Exposed fibers function as textile floor covering. However, hand-hooking typically produces tufted piles, not knotted ones, so it may not fall under tariff item 5701.10.90.

Import Tips
• Verify whether the rug is knotted or tufted; hand-hooking usually results in tufted piles
• If tufted, it should be classified under heading 5703, not 5701
• Declare the rug accurately to avoid customs delays
