Hand-Hooked Wool Blend Area Rug from Germany

This hand-hooked area rug features tufts of wool blend yarn inserted and knotted by hand, creating a textured pile surface on a woven backing. It is classified under HTS 5701.90.20.10 because it uses other textile materials (not wool or fine animal hair) and meets the hand-hooked definition with manually knotted tufts. Ideal for living rooms, it exposes textile materials as the primary surface in use.

Import Tips

Verify the yarn composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status, as wool content over 5% shifts to 5701.10

Provide affidavits or artisan certifications proving hand-hooking process to avoid misclassification as machine-made

Include detailed invoices specifying tufting method and backing material to prevent delays at customs
