Hand-Knotted Wool-Silk Blend Oriental Rug from Mexico

This luxurious hand-knotted rug features a pile inserted and knotted during weaving, using a blend of wool and silk as the primary textile materials. It falls under HTS 5701.90.10.90 as a knotted carpet of other textile materials (non-cotton, non-manmade), not specifically wool or fine animal hair. The exposed textile surface qualifies it as a textile floor covering per Chapter 57 notes.

Import Tips

• Verify the exact fiber composition via lab testing, as blends over 20% manmade fiber may shift to 5702.52 headings

• Provide certificates of origin for potential preferential duty treatment under free trade agreements like those with Turkey or India

• Ensure 'hand-knotted' claims are substantiated to avoid misclassification as tufted (5703) and ensure proper documentation of knot density
