Chapter 60: Knitted or crocheted fabrics

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6003 when importing knitted or crocheted fabrics that are not wider than 30 cm and do not fall under headings 60.01 or 60.02. For example, if you are shipping a roll of knitted cotton fabric measuring 25 cm in width, this code applies.

When deciding between the HS-6 lines under this heading, consider the material composition. If your fabric is made of wool or fine animal hair, use HS-6 600310. For cotton fabrics, select HS-6 600320. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.

If your fabric is made from synthetic fibers, you should classify it under HS-6 600330. In contrast, if it’s made from artificial fibers, HS-6 600340 is the correct choice. Ensure you verify the material to avoid misclassification.

For fabrics that do not fit into the specified categories of wool, cotton, synthetic, or artificial fibers, use HS-6 600390. This line is for any other knitted or crocheted fabrics under 30 cm that do not fall into the previous classifications.
