Knotted Wool-Silk Blend Area Rug from Japan

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
