Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 5703.10.00?
HS Code 5703.10.00 covers carpets and other textile floor coverings, tufted, whether or not made up, of wool or fine animal hair (Hand-tufted wool area rugs). In commercial practice these goods are traded as Tufted Wool Rug made of 100% Wool Tufted / Latex Backing, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as hand tufted wool rug, custom wool rug, tufted luxury carpet.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 57 (Carpets & Floor Coverings), then Heading 5703 (Carpets and other textile floor coverings, tufted, whether or not made up) and Subheading 5703.10 (Of wool or fine animal hair), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 5703.10.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, 100% Wool Tufted / Latex Backing and Tufted Wool Rug.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (100% Wool Tufted / Latex Backing) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 5703.10.00
- Commercial invoice: print 5703.10.00 next to the item description (Tufted Wool Rug) with the material composition (100% Wool Tufted / Latex Backing) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
