Hand-Knotted Cotton Mat from China
A small hand-knotted mat made of cotton pile yarn on a cotton foundation, functioning as a textile floor covering. Despite knotting, it falls under HTS 5705.00.20.20 as 'other' cotton carpets if not fitting 5701 knotted criteria by scale or type. Exposed cotton pile surface confirms chapter placement.

Import Tips
• Knot density documentation prevents shift to 5701; declare size accurately
• Avoid calling 'rug' if mat-sized to prevent scrutiny
