Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 57 covers carpets and other textile floor coverings — a celebrated Indian export. Hand-knotted, tufted and woven rugs from Bhadohi, Mirzapur, Kashmir and Panipat ship to homes worldwide. Classification separates the goods by construction — knotted, woven, tufted or felt — and by the textile material, each method commanding very different value and craftsmanship.
How to read this code
57 is the two-digit HS chapter for carpets and other textile floor coverings. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many textiles & textile articles lines — check our import guides for your market.
