Hand-Hooked Cotton Area Rug from China
This hand-hooked area rug is made entirely from cotton yarns, featuring a tufted pile surface exposed during use as a floor covering. It falls under HTS 5705.00.20.20 because it is an other textile floor covering of cotton, not machine-woven or knotted. The cotton composition ensures classification in this specific subheading for non-woven, non-tufted cotton carpets.
