HS Code for Rubberized knit fabric

Rubberized knit fabric is classified under HS code 600290 because it meets the criteria for knitted or crocheted fabrics with a width not exceeding 30 cm that contain a significant portion of elastic material. Specifically, the fabric must contain 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread. This classification is part of Chapter 60, which encompasses all knitted or crocheted textiles. The "narrow fabric" designation (under 30 cm) is a primary divider in textile classification, as wider fabrics are categorized under different subheadings. The inclusion of rubber or elastomeric yarn provides the fabric with the ability to stretch and return to its original shape, a property essential for specialized garment components. The "other" category 600290 is used when the fabric does not meet the specific definitions of pile fabrics or other specialized knit structures defined in the earlier parts of the heading.

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with 600240, which applies to knitted fabrics containing elastomeric yarn but exceeding 30 cm in width. It is also confused with 590610, which covers adhesive tape made of rubberized textile. If the fabric is knitted but contains less than 5% elastomeric yarn, it would fall under 6003 instead.
