Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 611012 when importing or exporting knitted garments made from cashmere, such as luxurious sweaters or cardigans. For example, a shipment of cashmere pullovers from Italy would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to articles made from cashmere fibers, distinguishing them from similar products made from other materials like wool or synthetic fibers, which would use different HS codes.

When classifying knitted or crocheted garments, be aware that HS-6 611011 covers items made from sheep's wool, while HS-6 611012 is reserved for those crafted from cashmere, known for its softness and warmth.

Understanding the difference between these codes is crucial for accurate tariff classification and compliance with customs regulations, especially when dealing with high-value cashmere products.
