5702.10.10.00 - Certified hand-loomed and folklore products 🖩

This HTS category, 5702.10.10.00, specifically covers certified hand-loomed products and folklore items that fit the description of handwoven rugs. This designation applies to items that have undergone a certification process attesting to their hand-loomed nature and their significance as cultural or folklore products. These are distinct from general handwoven rugs, requiring documented proof of their certified status and cultural heritage to be classified here.

Unlike the sibling category 5702.10.90, which encompasses all other "Kelem," "Schumacks," "Karamanie," and similar handwoven rugs not meeting the specific certification and folklore criteria, this subheading is narrowly focused. The key differentiator lies in the formal certification and the cultural or traditional significance attributed to the products within this category. Without this certification, a handwoven rug of similar construction would fall under the "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 5702.10.10.00 therefore hinges on the definitive presence of the required certification and the recognized status as a folklore product. Importers and exporters should ensure that all necessary documentation is in order to substantiate classification under this specific HTS code, reflecting the specialized nature of these certified hand-loomed and folklore items.
