HTS Chapter 60 covers knitted or crocheted textile fabrics, rather than finished garments or most finished textile articles. It includes categories such as pile and terry fabrics, narrow fabrics containing elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, warp-knit fabrics, and other knitted or crocheted fabrics. The product’s construction, width, fiber content, and special features generally determine where it belongs.
The HTS is organized from chapter to heading to subheading and then to a complete 10-digit classification. In this chapter, begin with the relevant four-digit heading, such as 6001 through 6006, then review the increasingly detailed subheadings and statistical suffixes. Do not classify only by the product’s intended use: examine how the fabric is made, its width, composition by weight, whether it has pile or elastomeric content, and whether another heading or chapter excludes it. Confirm the final code and any applicable Chapter 99 provisions using current official HTS information or a qualified customs professional.
What to check
- Measure the fabric’s width and document the result, since several headings distinguish fabrics not exceeding 30 cm from wider fabrics.
- Identify the knitting or crocheting method, including whether the fabric is warp knit, pile, terry, or another construction.
- Obtain a reliable fiber-content breakdown by weight, including elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, and retain laboratory or supplier documentation when appropriate.
- Check the heading and subheading exclusions, especially provisions referring to headings 6001 through 6004 and products classified elsewhere based on their construction or form.
- After selecting the base HTS classification, check current Chapter 99 provisions and other applicable measures separately; do not assume the ordinary Chapter 60 classification shows every duty or trade remedy.
How to use this chapter
A chapter is the first classification level, not a duty rate. Choose the heading that describes the product, narrow by material, construction, use, or other legal distinctions, and verify the final line against the official HTS notes.
