Fabrics, looped pile fabrics, of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres), knitted or crocheted.
Classification of terry knit fabric under HS 6001.29
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.

Codes often confused with 6001.29
Common mistake. 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.

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).
