About HS Code 600310
This code specifically targets narrow knitted or crocheted fabrics, less than 30 cm in width, made entirely or predominantly from wool or fine animal hair. These are distinct from pile fabrics (60.01) and those with significant elastomeric content (60.02). These natural fiber fabrics are valued for their warmth, softness, and breathability, making them ideal for high-quality apparel trims, accessories, and specialized textile applications. Importers include luxury fashion brands, garment manufacturers specializing in natural fibers, and craft suppliers in countries like Italy, France, and the United States. Exporters often originate from regions known for their wool production and sophisticated knitting industries, such as Italy, the UK, and China. Key trade factors include the type and quality of wool (e.g., Merino, cashmere), the knit structure (e.g., jersey, rib, interlock), the softness and drape, and the colorfastness and finishing treatments.
