Chapter 60: Knitted or crocheted fabrics
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 600631 when importing or exporting unbleached or bleached knitted fabrics made from synthetic fibers. For example, if you're shipping a roll of polyester knit fabric for t-shirts, this code is appropriate.
This code specifically covers synthetic knitted fabrics that are neither bleached nor dyed, distinguishing it from HS-6 600632, which includes dyed or printed synthetic fabrics. Understanding this difference is crucial for accurate classification.
When classifying your product, consider the fiber content and whether the fabric has been treated. If your knitted fabric is made from nylon and unbleached, it falls under this code, while a bleached version would still qualify.
If you're unsure about the treatment of your fabric, consult with your customs broker for guidance. They can help clarify whether your product fits into this category or if a different HS code is more appropriate.
