Last updated: April 2026 dataHand-knotted rugs and carpets of wool or fine animal hair represent one of the most craft-intensive categories in the textile floor covering trade, with knot density, pile height, and fiber fineness serving as key quality and value determinants. The knotted construction — where individual yarn tufts are tied to a warp — distinguishes these articles from tufted, woven, or needle-punched carpets that classify under adjacent headings. Major producing regions for hand-knotted wool rugs include South Asia and the Middle East, and importers should be aware that certain origins may carry antidumping or other trade remedy exposure depending on current orders in effect.

Fine animal hair is defined by fiber diameter — typically cashmere, mohair, angora, or similar specialty fibers below specified micron thresholds. Importers claiming fine animal hair composition should obtain fiber analysis certificates from an accredited laboratory, as CBP may request testing to verify the declared fiber type and diameter, which affects both classification and duty rate.
Knotted construction can be verified by physical inspection — individual knots are visible on the back of the rug, and the pile can be separated to reveal the tied structure. Supplier-provided production documentation, including loom records and weaver certifications, can supplement physical inspection. For high-value shipments, independent third-party inspection at origin is a common practice to confirm construction method before export.
