Chapter 60: Knitted or crocheted fabrics

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 600641 when importing or exporting unbleached or bleached knitted fabrics made from artificial fibers. For example, a shipment of unbleached polyester knit fabric rolls for apparel production falls under this code.

This code specifically targets knitted or crocheted fabrics that are not classified under headings 60.01 to 60.04, which cover other types of knitted textiles. If you have fabrics made from natural fibers or specific knitted types, you may need to look at different HS codes.

Understanding the nuances of this HS-6 code helps avoid customs delays and ensures compliance with trade regulations. Always verify whether your fabric is unbleached or bleached, as this can affect the classification.
