Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "60" represent knitted or crocheted fabrics.

Specifically, this chapter includes:

  • Knitted or crocheted fabrics, such as:
    • Fabrics made from various fibers such as cotton, man-made fibers, etc.
    • Knitted or crocheted fabrics of various structures (e.g., plain knit, rib knit, jacquard, etc.)
    • Knitted or crocheted fabrics for various purposes (e.g., clothing, home textiles, industrial fabrics, etc.)

Reason for classification:

The classification under the "60" chapter is based on manufacturing method, i.e., fabrics produced through knitting or crocheting processes. Regardless of the fiber composition, structure, or use of the fabric, if it is made by knitting or crocheting, it falls under this chapter.

In simple terms, if the product is "woven" rather than "knitted" or "crocheted," it may likely belong to the "60" chapter.
