Classification of narrow wool knit fabric under HS 6003.10

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.

Codes often confused with 6003.10

Common mistake. Common misclassifications include 6003.30, which is for synthetic fibers, and 6003.20, which is for cotton. It is also often confused with woven wool fabrics of heading 5111 or 5112; however, those headings are for woven goods, not knitted. If the wool knit fabric contains more than 5% elastomeric yarn, it should be classified under 6002.90. Additionally, if the fabric is wider than 30 cm, it would typically fall under 6006.10.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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. 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).
