What HS 6006.10 covers
This HS code encompasses knitted or crocheted fabrics made from wool or fine animal hair, excluding specific categories covered by headings 60.01 to 60.04. These luxurious and often high-value textiles are crucial in the fashion and apparel industry, particularly for premium knitwear, outerwear, and accessories. Major importers typically include fashion houses, high-end apparel manufacturers, and textile converters in countries with strong design and manufacturing capabilities. Exporters are often found in regions known for their wool and fine animal hair production or advanced textile processing, such as Italy, China, and Germany. Key considerations in trade involve fiber origin (e.g., Merino, Cashmere, Alpaca), quality certifications, sustainability practices, and compliance with animal welfare standards, as these factors significantly influence market value and consumer demand.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
