What HS code 6001 covers
A pile fabric has a soft surface of loops or cut yarn ends that stand up from a base cloth. Under this heading, that cloth must be made by knitting or crocheting. Woven pile cloth is not covered here.
Some traders call it the HSN code 6001. The four digits are the same. The six-digit subheadings add detail about the pile type and the fibre. Tariff classification works from the top down. You choose the heading first, then the subheading.
Terry fabrics are the looped kind of pile. Long pile fabrics have longer fibres on the surface, so they get their own code.
Terry fabric HS code classification: how to choose the right 6001 subcode
Ask two questions. What kind of pile does the cloth have? Then, what fibre is it made of?
Long pile cloth has one code and no fibre split. Looped pile, which includes terry, and all other pile are each split by fibre. Other pile means pile cloth that is neither long pile nor looped pile.
- Long pile: 600110.
- Looped pile, cotton: 600121.
- Other pile, cotton: 600191.
- Other pile, any other textile material: 600199.
HS 6001 vs 6006 and the other Chapter 60 headings
If your cloth has a knitted pile surface, start with 6001. If it has no pile, check the neighbours.
They split by width, by stretch content and by how the fabric is made. Heading 6006 is the catch-all, because it leaves out everything in 60.01 to 60.04.
- 6002: narrow fabrics, not wider than 30 cm, with a stated share of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread.
