Hand-Knotted Alpaca Wool Persian-Style Rug from Canada

This luxurious floor covering features a dense pile hand-inserted with over 50% alpaca hair from suri and huacaya breeds, woven on a wool foundation in a classic Persian motif. It qualifies under HTS 5701.10.16.00 due to the hand-knotting process and predominant alpaca pile content by weight. The exposed textile surface serves as the primary characteristic when used as a carpet.

Import Tips

• Verify pile composition via lab testing to confirm over 50% alpaca hair weight, as certificates of analysis are often required by customs

• Provide detailed weaving process documentation proving hand-insertion to avoid reclassification to machine-made carpets

• Label origin accurately, noting alpaca sourcing from Peru or Bolivia, to comply with textile fiber content rules and prevent penalties
