Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the residual catch-all for textile floor coverings not elsewhere specified, this heading captures a wide range of made-up and unmade floor covering products — including hand-knotted rugs, woven flatweaves, and specialty constructions that do not fit tufted, flocked, or felt categories. The breadth of this classification makes fiber content, pile type, and manufacturing method critical variables for correct duty determination and country-of-origin marking. Hand-knotted rugs from artisan-producing regions and machine-woven specialty products may carry very different duty rates despite falling under the same SITC heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
For hand-knotted rugs, CBP generally requires a certificate of origin and may request weaver affidavits or production records, since substantial transformation occurs where the knotting takes place. Importers of high-value artisan rugs should also be prepared for appraisement review, as declared value is frequently scrutinized against market benchmarks.
Each distinct product type must be classified separately on the entry; combining different constructions under a single line item is not permitted. Packing lists and commercial invoices should itemize quantities and descriptions by construction method to facilitate accurate line-by-line classification and duty calculation.
