HS Code 5701Carpets and other textile floor coverings; knotted, whether or not made up
2 six-digit codes · Heading 1 of 5 in Chapter 57 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
It is the place to start if your product is tied by knots and not woven, tufted or pressed.
Heading 5701 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Carpets and other textile floor coverings; knotted, whether or not made up” classify either at 570110 or at 570190, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 1 of 5 in Chapter 57, Carpets and other textile floor coverings, which runs to 24 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 5701
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 570110 | Carpets and other textile floor coverings; knotted, of wool or fine animal hair, whether or not made up |
| 570190 | Carpets and other textile floor coverings; knotted, of textile materials (other than wool or fine animal hair), whether or not made up |
What HS code 5701 covers: knotted carpets
The key word in this heading is knotted. A carpet that is knotted belongs here. Carpets that are woven, tufted or made of felt go to other headings, so check the way the carpet is made before you pick a code.
The heading covers goods whether or not they are made up. That means a finished rug and a carpet that is not yet finished both fit. It sits in Section XI, which is the textile section of the Harmonized System, the tariff classification used by customs offices around the world.
Traders often call these goods hand-knotted rugs. The HS does not use that phrase. It looks at how the carpet is built and what fibre it is made from, and that is what decides the code.
How to choose between 570110 and 570190
The only split under this heading is the material. Ask one question: is the carpet made of wool or fine animal hair?
If you also see the code written as an HSN code 5701 on an Indian invoice, the same rule applies. The extra digits follow the same material split.
- Choose 570110 when the carpet is knotted and made of wool or fine animal hair.
- Choose 570190 when the carpet is knotted and made of other textile materials, meaning anything that is not wool or fine animal hair.
- Do not use either code if the carpet is not knotted. Look at the next section instead.
Knotted vs woven carpet: HS code 5701 or 5702?
