HS Code for Crocheted fabric
Crocheted fabric in bulk, rolls, or sheets is classified under HS code 6006.90. Chapter 60 of the Harmonized System is dedicated specifically to "Knitted or crocheted fabrics." Heading 6006 covers "Other knitted or crocheted fabrics" that do not fit into the more specific categories of headings 6001 through 6005. Subheading 6006.90 is a residual category for fabrics made of materials other than wool, cotton, or man-made fibers, or for complex blends where no single material dominates. This classification is essential for textile manufacturers and importers who deal in raw materials rather than finished goods. The fabric must be "in the piece" (meaning in rolls or large sheets) to be classified here. Once the fabric is cut to a specific shape or hemmed into a finished product like a garment or a tablecloth, it must be classified in Chapters 61, 62, or 63.

Common Misclassification
Crocheted fabric is often misclassified under Heading 6001 if it has a pile surface (like crocheted faux-fur). It is also frequently confused with 6002, 6003, or 6004, which are reserved for fabrics of specific widths (under 30 cm) or those containing 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread. Another common error is classifying finished crocheted items (like scarves) under 6006.90; finished items must go to Chapter 61 or 62. Finally, woven fabrics (Chapter 50-55) are often confused with crocheted fabrics by those unfamiliar with textile construction.
