About HS Code 600621
HS 600621 covers unbleached or bleached knitted or crocheted fabrics made from cotton, excluding those of headings 60.01 to 60.04. These are fundamental raw materials in the global textile trade, forming the basis for a vast array of everyday apparel and home textiles. Importers typically include large-scale apparel manufacturers, textile converters, and producers of basic garments like t-shirts, underwear, and casual wear. Exporters are predominantly countries with robust cotton cultivation and textile manufacturing infrastructures. Key aspects of trade include the quality of raw cotton, yarn count, fabric weight, and the degree of processing (unbleached 'grey' fabric versus bleached). The sheer volume and commodity nature of these fabrics mean that supply chain efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount.
