RE: The tariff classification of a rug from India
Dear Ms. Sainpy:
In your letter dated October 30, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling. A photograph was
submitted in lieu of a sample.
The item, identified as a Bohemian Decor Flatweave Kilim Rug, Article# CK-2, is stated to be a handwoven
kilim rug made from 100 percent jute yarns. The face of the rug has an abstract design from yarns of muted
tones of beige, brown, black and blue/green. The warp yarns extend to form a fringe at both ends. The rug
measures 7 × 10 feet.
The applicable subheading for the rug will be 5702.10.9090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS), which provides for “Carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not tufted or flocked,
whether or not made up, including ‘Kelem’, ‘Schumacks’, ‘Karamanie’, and similar handwoven rugs:
‘Kelem’, ‘Schumacks’, ‘Karamanie’ and similar hand woven rugs: Other: Other.” The general rate of duty
will be Free.
Effective August 27, 2025, Executive Order 14329 imposed additional duties on products from India. At this
time, products of India provided by heading 9903.01.84, except for products described in headings
9903.01.85 – 9903.01.89, will be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent. At the time
of entry, you must report the Chapter 99 heading applicable to your product classification, i.e. 9903.01.84, in
addition to subheading 5702.10.9090, HTSUS, listed above.
Effective April 5, 2025, Executive Orders implemented “Reciprocal Tariffs.” All imported merchandise
must be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which the reciprocal tariff applies or one of the
Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to the reciprocal tariffs. At this time, products of India will be
subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent. At the time of entry, you must report the
Chapter 99 heading applicable to your product classification, i.e. 9903.02.26, in addition to subheading
5702.10.9090, HTSUS, listed above.
The tariffs and additional duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided
for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying
duty rates are provided at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
The holding set forth above applies only to the specific factual situation and merchandise description as
identified in the ruling request. This position is clearly set forth in Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Section 177.9(b)(1). This section states that a ruling letter is issued on the assumption that all of the
information furnished in the ruling letter, whether directly, by reference, or by implication, is accurate and
complete in every material respect. In the event that the facts are modified in any way, or if the goods do not
conform to these facts at time of importation, you should bring this to the attention of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) and submit a request for a new ruling in accordance with 19 CFR 177.2.
Additionally, we note that the material facts described in the foregoing ruling may be subject to periodic
verification by CBP.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs and Border Protection
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents
filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, please contact
National Import Specialist Kim Wachtel at [email protected].
Sincerely,
(for)
