Last updated: August 2026 dataHand-knotted construction in wool or fine animal hair places these rugs among the most labor-intensive textile imports, with India and Nepal dominating US supply and Pakistan and Turkey also significant sources. The US schedule subdivides the heading by fiber certification and construction method, distinguishing hand-loomed alpaca-pile rugs certified under specific handloom programs (5701101300) from non-certified alpaca variants (5701101600), hand-hooked and knotted wool pieces (5701104000), and other knotted wool carpeting (5701109000). Knot density, pile height, and fiber origin documentation are critical for both customs classification and retail grading. Importers sourcing from Afghanistan should monitor applicable trade-remedy and sanctions compliance requirements that may affect admissibility.

Lines 5701101300 and 5701101600 split alpaca-pile rugs based on whether they carry official handloom floor-covering certification. Certified pieces qualify for a separate tariff treatment, so importers must retain the relevant certification documentation at entry to support the claimed classification.
CBP may request production records, weaver affidavits, or third-party inspection certificates confirming hand-knotted construction, since the distinction from machine-made pile directly affects classification and duty rate. Consult a licensed customs broker to ensure your documentation package meets current CBP evidentiary standards.
