At the six-digit NAICS level, carpet and rug manufacturing establishments produce floor coverings through tufting, weaving, knitting, needle-punching, and hand-knotting processes, serving residential, commercial, and institutional end markets. The US domestic industry is concentrated in tufted broadloom production, while imports supply a disproportionate share of woven and hand-knotted product categories. Flammability standards — particularly those set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission — apply to carpets and rugs sold in the US regardless of origin, and importers must ensure products meet applicable test standards before retail distribution.
