HS Code for Knit trim

Knit trim is classified under HS code 6003.90. This classification is governed by Chapter 60, which encompasses all knitted or crocheted fabrics. Heading 6003 is specifically reserved for knitted or crocheted fabrics of a width not exceeding 30 cm, other than those of heading 60.01 (pile fabrics) or 60.02 (fabrics containing 5% or more of elastomeric yarn). The subheading 6003.90 serves as the residual category for trims made from materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic/artificial fibers. This includes trims made from silk, flax, or hemp. The classification process involves analyzing the manufacturing technique (knitting or crocheting), measuring the width to ensure it is 30 cm or less, and determining the fiber content. If the trim is not made of the primary textile fibers listed in 6003.10 through 6003.40, it must be placed in the "other" category of 6003.90.

Common Misclassification

Knit trim is often confused with 5806.32, which covers woven narrow fabrics. The primary distinction is the construction method; 6003.90 must be knitted or crocheted. It is also confused with 6002.90 if the trim contains more than 5% elastomeric yarn, as heading 6002 takes precedence over 6003 for elasticated fabrics.
