About HS Code 600410
This code covers wide knitted or crocheted fabrics (over 30 cm) that incorporate at least 5% elastomeric yarn (like spandex/Lycra) but specifically exclude rubber thread. These fabrics are characterized by their significant stretch and recovery properties, making them essential for activewear, swimwear, intimate apparel, and form-fitting garments. The "width exceeding 30 cm" indicates their use for main body panels of clothing rather than just trims. Major importers are global apparel brands and garment manufacturers, particularly in Asia, Europe, and North America, who rely on these fabrics for comfort and performance. Exporters are typically countries with advanced textile manufacturing, such as China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Turkey. Key considerations in trade include the specific blend of fibers, the degree of stretch, and the fabric's weight and finish.
