Overview
This classification, "Other," within the broader category of handwoven rugs like "Kelem," "Schumacks," and "Karamanie," serves as a residual for woven floor coverings that do not fall into the more specific material-based subcategories. It encompasses handwoven rugs where the primary constituent material is neither wool or fine animal hair, cotton, nor man-made fibers. These items are characterized by their woven construction, as opposed to tufted or flocked methods, and are often distinguished by traditional artisanal techniques.
To differentiate this category from its siblings, it's crucial to examine the material composition. HTS code 5702.10.90.10 is reserved for such handwoven rugs made predominantly of wool or fine animal hair, while 5702.10.90.20 pertains to those primarily of cotton. Similarly, 5702.10.90.30 is designated for handwoven rugs composed mainly of man-made fibers. Therefore, this "Other" classification is applicable to handwoven rugs made from other materials not explicitly listed in the preceding sibling codes, such as blends where no single material dominates according to classification rules, or less common natural fibers.
As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories, meaning that once a rug is identified as a handwoven "Kelem," "Schumack," or similar type, and its primary material does not align with the specific wool, cotton, or man-made fiber categories, it will be classified here. The practical application of this classification hinges on careful material analysis to ensure accurate duty assessment and compliance with trade regulations.
