HS code 6003.90 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, other than of wool and fine animal hair, cotton, synthetic or artificial fibres. It is used for silk knit trim, linen narrow bands, hemp ribbing, jute crocheted edgings and ramie knit cuffs.
What HS 6003.90 covers
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.

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).
