HS-4 · Heading

6001 — Fabrics; pile fabrics, including long pile fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted

Chapter 60: Knitted or crocheted fabrics

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6001 when importing knitted or crocheted pile fabrics, such as terry cloth used in towels or long pile fabrics for upholstery. Understanding the distinctions among various subheadings is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.

When choosing between HS-6 600110 for long pile fabrics and HS-6 600121 for looped pile fabrics made of cotton, consider the fabric's texture and intended use. Long pile fabrics are typically fluffier and thicker, while looped pile fabrics have a more uniform surface, often used in bath towels.

If your product falls under looped pile fabrics but is made from man-made fibers, you would classify it under HS-6 600122. For other textile materials, use HS-6 600129. This distinction is important for compliance and tariff rates.

For pile fabrics that are not classified as long pile or looped pile, you’ll need to determine the fiber content. Use HS-6 600191 for cotton, HS-6 600192 for man-made fibers, and HS-6 600199 for other textile materials. Each option affects import duties and regulations.
