About HS Code 600390
This HS code serves as a residual category for narrow knitted or crocheted fabrics (under 30 cm wide) made from fibers not specifically covered by 600320 (cotton), 600330 (synthetic), 600340 (artificial), or wool/fine animal hair. This includes specialty natural fibers like linen, silk, jute, or blends where no single fiber predominates to classify it elsewhere, or even novel fiber types. These fabrics find niche applications in high-end fashion, specialized industrial uses, or decorative items where unique textures or properties are desired. Importers often include luxury brands, craft suppliers, and manufacturers of bespoke goods in developed economies. Exporters are diverse, ranging from countries with specific natural fiber resources to those with advanced textile blending capabilities. Understanding the exact fiber composition is paramount for correct classification and market positioning.
