HS Code for Narrow wool knit fabric

Narrow wool knit fabrics fall under HS code 6003.10. This classification is based on the fabric being knitted or crocheted and having a width that does not exceed 30 centimeters. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), the product is first identified by its primary characteristic—being a knitted textile. Chapter 60 covers such goods. Within this chapter, heading 6003 is the specific category for narrow fabrics that do not contain the high elastomeric content required for heading 6002 and are not pile fabrics of heading 6001. Subheading 6003.10 specifically identifies wool or fine animal hair as the constituent material. Fine animal hair includes the hair of alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel, yak, Angora, Tibetan, Kashmir, or similar goats. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the fabric is dyed, printed, or made of yarns of different colors, provided the width and construction criteria are met. These materials are often used for high-end garment trims, scarves, and specialized thermal linings.
