Chapter 60: Knitted or crocheted fabrics

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 600129 when importing or exporting looped pile fabrics made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. For example, a shipment of wool-based terry cloth for towels would fall under this code.

This code specifically addresses knitted or crocheted fabrics that have a looped pile texture, distinguishing them from flat or woven fabrics. If you're dealing with pile fabrics made from cotton or synthetic fibers, you would need to look at different HS codes, such as 6001.20 for cotton.

When classifying fabrics, it's essential to note the material composition. While 600129 covers looped pile fabrics of natural fibers like wool or silk, 6001.10 pertains to those made from cotton. Understanding these distinctions helps ensure proper tariff classification and compliance.

If you're unsure whether your fabric qualifies as a looped pile, consider its construction and intended use. Fabrics designed for upholstery or home textiles often fall under this category, while those intended for garments may require a different classification.
