Knotted Wool-Silk Blend Area Rug from China

This hand-knotted area rug features a blend of wool and silk as the primary textile materials, creating a luxurious pile surface exposed during use. It falls under HTS 5701.90.20 as a knotted carpet of other textile materials (neither wool nor fine animal hair nor cotton). The intricate knotting technique ensures durability and a textile-dominated exposed face.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm it's 'other textile materials' excluding wool, fine animal hair, or cotton dominance

• Provide detailed knotting process documentation and invoices specifying pile material to avoid reclassification to 5701.10 or 5702.10

• Ensure no underlay padding is included, as Chapter 57 excludes floor covering underlays which fall under Chapter 59
