HS Code for Terry knit fabric

Terry knit fabric is classified under HS code 6001.29 when it consists of looped pile fabrics that are knitted or crocheted and made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. This residual category includes fabrics made from wool, fine animal hair, silk, or linen. The classification follows the hierarchical logic of Chapter 60, which covers all knitted or crocheted fabrics. Heading 6001 is dedicated to pile fabrics, and the 6001.2x series specifically addresses looped pile (terry) structures. Because subheadings 6001.21 and 6001.22 cover cotton and man-made fibers respectively, 6001.29 captures all other fiber types. The fabric must feature a surface of loops created during the knitting process, providing texture and bulk, which is common in high-end apparel and specialized upholstery.

Common Misclassification

Terry knit fabric is often misclassified under 6001.21 (cotton) or 6001.22 (synthetic/artificial fibers) if the fiber content is not accurately tested. It may also be confused with woven specialty fabrics under 5802.19, but the knitted construction of 6001.29 is the deciding factor for Chapter 60 placement. Accurate fiber composition analysis is essential for this code.
