5701.10.13.00 - Certified hand-loomed and folklore products

This HTS classification covers certified hand-loomed and folklore products specifically falling under knotted carpets and other textile floor coverings. The core criteria for inclusion are that these items must be made of wool or fine animal hair, with over 50 percent by weight of the pile consisting of hair from alpaca, guanaco, huarizo, llama, misti, suri, or a combination thereof. Crucially, the pile must have been hand-inserted or hand-knotted during the weaving or knitting process to qualify for this specific subheading.

The distinction between this category (5701.10.13.00) and its sibling, 5701.10.16.00 (Other), lies in the explicit certification of the product as "hand-loomed and folklore." While both are knotted carpets of wool or fine animal hair with a specific pile composition and hand-knotted construction, the presence of official certification as a hand-loomed and folklore product is the defining characteristic that directs classification to 5701.10.13.00. The sibling category captures similar products that do not possess this specific certification or meet other criteria for specialized subheadings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive, meaning goods meeting all the preceding criteria and this specific description will be classified under 5701.10.13.00. Practical classification relies on verifying the nature of the construction (hand-loomed, hand-knotted pile), the fiber composition of the pile (specifically identifying the listed fine animal hairs and their weight percentage), and the presence of official certification denoting its status as a folklore product.
