Hand-knotted Wool Silk Blend Oriental Rug

This luxurious area rug features a pile inserted and knotted during hand-weaving, using a blend of wool and silk as the primary textile materials. It qualifies under HTS 5701.90.10 because it is a knotted carpet of other textile materials (not wool or cotton), with the textile pile exposed during use as a floor covering. The intricate patterns emulate traditional Persian designs, ideal for high-end interiors.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain a detailed material composition certificate from the manufacturer to verify 'other textile materials' status and avoid reclassification to wool-dominated codes

Include knot density (e.g

300+ knots per square inch) and weaving method documentation to prove 'pile inserted and knotted during weaving' criterion
