HS code 6003.10 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of heading 60.01 and 60.02, of a width not exceeding 30 cm, of wool or fine animal hair. It is used for wool knit cuffs, cashmere blend neckbands, fine animal hair sweater trims, merino wool ribbing and knitted alpaca scarves (narrow).
What HS 6003.10 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
