Chapter 60: Knitted or crocheted fabrics
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 600541 when importing or exporting warp knitted fabrics made from artificial fibers, whether bleached or unbleached. For example, if you're shipping a roll of bleached warp knit fabric used for clothing, this is the correct code.
This code specifically applies to fabrics that are warp knitted and made from artificial fibers, distinguishing them from similar products like those made from natural fibers, which fall under different codes. For instance, HS-6 600542 covers warp knitted fabrics made from synthetic fibers but in a different classification.
When classifying your products, be aware that HS-6 600541 excludes fabrics of headings 60.01 to 60.04, which cover other types of knitted or crocheted fabrics. If your fabric is not warp knitted or made from artificial fibers, you may need to look at other HS codes.
If you're unsure whether your fabric qualifies under this code, consider the specific fiber content and the knitting method. Fabrics made from polyester or nylon that are warp knitted would typically fall under this classification.
