Fabrics, knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of heading 60.01 and 60.02, of a width not exceeding 30 cm, of artificial fibres.
Classification of rayon knit trim under HS 6003.40
Rayon knit trim is classified under HS code 6003.40. This classification is part of 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 with high elastomeric content). The subheading 6003.40 is designated for these narrow fabrics when they are made of artificial fibers, such as rayon or viscose. The classification is strictly dependent on the width of the material; if the trim exceeds 30 cm, it would likely fall under heading 60.06. Additionally, the construction must be knitted or crocheted. If the trim is woven, it would be classified in Chapter 58. This code is essential for identifying decorative trims, galloons, and narrow lace-like structures produced on knitting machines.

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. 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).
