Last updated: April 2026 dataHand-knotted and machine-made rugs are among the more origin-sensitive textile imports, with India and China among the leading suppliers globally and distinct duty and trade-remedy profiles applying to each. Hand-knotted wool rugs from certain origins have historically benefited from lower duty rates than machine-made synthetics, making construction-method verification a meaningful cost consideration. Importers should also note that wool-content rugs may be subject to CPSC flammability standards and FTC fiber-content labeling requirements at the retail level.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Hand-knotted rugs are constructed by individually tying yarn knots around warp threads on a loom — a labor-intensive process — while hand-tufted rugs are made by punching yarn through a backing fabric with a tufting gun and then applying a secondary backing. CBP classifies these under different HTS subheadings, and the duty rates can differ. Importers should obtain production documentation (loom certificates or factory affidavits) to substantiate the claimed construction method, as CBP may request verification.
Yes. Rugs and carpets sold in the US must comply with the CPSC's flammability standard (16 CFR Part 1630 for large rugs, Part 1631 for small rugs). Additionally, the FTC's Textile Fiber Products Identification Act requires accurate fiber-content labeling. Importers are responsible for ensuring compliance before goods enter retail channels, and CBP may detain shipments flagged for labeling deficiencies.
