HS code for Crocheted fabric: 6006.90
Fabrics, knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04,and other than those made of wool, fine animal hair, cotton, synthetic or artificial fibres.
Classification of crocheted fabric under HS 6006.90
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.

Codes often confused with 6006.90
Common mistake. 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.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
