Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 611490 when importing or exporting knitted garments made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. For instance, a shipment of woolen sweaters would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers garments that are knitted or crocheted from materials like wool, silk, or other natural fibers, excluding cotton and synthetic options. In contrast, HS-6 611420 applies to knitted cotton garments, highlighting the importance of material classification.

When dealing with knitted garments not classified under cotton or synthetic fibers, HS-6 611490 is the appropriate choice. It includes items like cashmere cardigans and silk knit tops, which are distinct from other knitted garments made from different materials.

If you’re unsure whether your product fits this code, consider the fiber content and the garment's construction. For example, knitted garments made from blends of natural fibers, like a wool and alpaca mix, would also be classified here.
