Hand-Hooked Acrylic Entryway Runner from Japan
A narrow runner rug hand-hooked with soft acrylic tufts knotted by hand, perfect for hallways with intricate border designs. It qualifies for HTS 5701.90.20.10 due to acrylic as an 'other textile material' and the defining hand-inserted, knotted tufts forming the pile. Long shape doesn't alter its textile floor covering classification.
