Heading 5701 is limited to carpets produced by the knotting technique, where individual yarn tufts are tied around warp threads to form the pile. Tufted carpets — where pile yarns are inserted by needles into a backing — fall under heading 5703, and woven carpets fall under heading 5702. The production method, not the appearance or end use, determines which heading applies.

No — heading 5701 explicitly covers knotted carpets and floor coverings 'whether or not made-up,' so both finished rugs and uncut knotted carpet in piece form are classified here. 'Made-up' in this context refers to whether the carpet has been cut to shape and finished at the edges; the knotted construction is the defining criterion regardless of finishing state.
