Import Tips
• Verify the rug is truly hand-knotted with cotton pile via manufacturer certification to avoid reclassification to machine-made under 5702
• Include detailed yarn composition lab tests showing 100% cotton to comply with HTS 5701.90.10.20 specifications
• Declare accurately as 'floor coverings' not 'wall hangings' to prevent customs disputes on use intent
