About HS Code 600641
HS 600641 covers unbleached or bleached knitted or crocheted fabrics made from artificial fibres, excluding those of headings 60.01 to 60.04. These fabrics, often derived from regenerated cellulose (e.g., rayon, modal, lyocell), are prized for their soft hand-feel, excellent drape, and breathability, offering a luxurious alternative to natural fibers. Major importers include fashion apparel manufacturers, lingerie brands, and home textile producers who value the comfort and aesthetic qualities of artificial fibers. Exporters are typically textile mills specializing in the processing of these advanced cellulosic materials. Key aspects of trade involve the specific type of artificial fiber, its sustainability credentials (e.g., Tencel Lyocell), fabric weight, and suitability for various applications requiring a smooth, fluid textile.
