Hand-Hooked Wool Oriental Rug from China
This traditional-style area rug features intricate patterns tufted by hand into a wool pile, creating a luxurious textile floor covering. It falls under HTS 5703.10.20.00 because it is made of wool or fine animal hair with tufts inserted manually using a hand tool, qualifying as hand-hooked. The exposed wool surface serves as the primary floor contact when in use.

Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 50% fine animal hair via lab testing for accurate Chapter 57 classification and duty rates
• Provide certificates of origin and artisan affidavits proving hand-hooking process to avoid machine-tufted misclassification
• Label rugs clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to comply with FTC textile rules and prevent CBP holds
