5702.10.90.30 - Of man-made fibers (665)

This HTS category, 5702.10.90.30, specifically classifies "Kelem", "Schumacks", "Karamanie", and similar handwoven rugs that are not made of wool, fine animal hair, or cotton. These handwoven rugs are characterized by their construction techniques, often featuring a flat weave without pile, and are traditionally made using methods that result in reversible designs. This category encompasses items crafted from man-made fibers, providing a distinct classification for synthetic alternatives to natural fiber rugs within this specific group of handwoven floor coverings.

The distinction from sibling categories is primarily based on the constituent fiber. While 5702.10.90.10 covers similar handwoven rugs made of wool or fine animal hair, and 5702.10.90.20 pertains to those made of cotton, this category exclusively addresses the remaining handwoven rugs that fall under the "Other" designation, specifically those composed of man-made fibers. This ensures precise classification based on material composition for these distinct types of handwoven floor coverings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 5702.10.90.30. Classification within this code is determined by the product meeting the criteria of being a "Kelem", "Schumack", "Karamanie", or similar handwoven rug, and being definitively made from man-made fibers, excluding the explicitly listed natural fibers of wool, fine animal hair, and cotton. The focus remains on the handwoven construction and the absence of specific natural fibers.
