HS Code 6002Fabrics; knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 60.01, of a width not exceeding 30cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread
2 six-digit codes · Heading 2 of 6 in Chapter 60 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 6002 is the heading for narrow knitted or crocheted fabrics that stretch because they hold elastomeric yarn or rubber thread. This page explains what fits here, how the two subcodes differ and how to tell 6002 from nearby headings.
Heading 6002 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Fabrics; knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 60.01, of a width not exceeding 30cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread” classify either at 600240 or at 600290, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 2 of 6 in Chapter 60, Fabrics; knitted or crocheted, which runs to 44 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 6002
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 600240 | Fabrics; knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 60.01, of a width not exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn but not containing rubber thread |
| 600290 | Fabrics; knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 60.01, of a width not exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread |
What HS code 6002 covers
Heading 6002 is for narrow elastic knit fabric. A fabric belongs here when it passes three tests. It is knitted or crocheted. Its width does not exceed 30 cm.
Elastomeric yarn is a yarn that stretches and snaps back. Rubber thread is a thin strand of rubber. Either one can give the fabric its stretch. Some traders also search for this heading as HSN code 6002.
Pile fabrics, including long pile and terry fabrics, are not classified here. They go to heading 6001 instead.
Where 6002 sits in the HS hierarchy
The WCO Harmonized System sorts goods into sections, chapters, headings and subheadings. Each level gets narrower. Customs offices use these codes for tariff classification, and each country then applies its own rules and rates. Check the rules of the market you trade with.
For this heading the path looks like this:
- Section XI textiles: the broad group
- Chapter 60 knitted fabrics: the chapter
- Heading 6002: narrow knitted fabrics with elastomeric yarn or rubber thread
- Subheadings 600240 and 600290: the two six-digit codes
6002.40 vs 6002.90: choosing the right subheading
Both subheadings cover fabrics of the same kind. The split is about rubber thread.
HS 6002.40 (600240) is for fabrics with elastomeric yarn that do not contain rubber thread. If there is no rubber thread in the fabric, this is the code to test first.
HS 6002.90 (600290) takes the remaining goods. When you are unsure, check the fibre content of the fabric first, because the rubber thread question decides the subheading.
How 6002 differs from 6001, 6003 and 6004
Two simple checks sort most cases: the width of the fabric and how much elastomeric yarn or rubber thread it holds.
The main difference between 6002 and 6004 is width.
- 6001: pile fabrics, including long pile and terry fabrics
- 6003: other narrow knitted or crocheted fabrics, up to 30 cm wide, that do not fit 6001 or 6002
- 6005: warp knit fabrics, including those made on galloon knitting machines
- 6006: other knitted or crocheted fabrics not covered by 6001 to 6004
