5702.42.20.20/Handwoven Polypropylene Persian-Style Rug/China

Handwoven Polypropylene Persian-Style Rug from China

This rug features a pile construction woven entirely by hand from polypropylene yarns, mimicking traditional Persian designs with intricate patterns. It falls under HTS 5702.42.2020 because it is a made-up floor covering of man-made textile materials, woven (not tufted or flocked), with pile, and specifically not produced on a power-driven loom. The exposed textile surface qualifies it as a carpet per Chapter 57 notes.

Import Tips

• Verify loom type via artisan affidavits or production records, as 'not power-driven' is key for this subheading; power looms shift to other codes

• Label fiber content accurately (e.g

• 100% polypropylene) and provide certificates of origin for potential duty reductions under free trade agreements

• Avoid misclassification as tufted (5703) by documenting hand-weaving process; common pitfall is assuming all pile rugs are tufted
