Product classification
HS code for Wool knit fabric: 6006.10
Fabrics, knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of wool or fine animal hair.
Classification of wool knit fabric under HS 6006.10
HS code 6006.10 applies to knitted or crocheted fabrics made of wool or fine animal hair that do not fall under the more specific headings of 60.01 through 60.04. This classification is used for bulk textile rolls intended for the garment industry or other manufacturing sectors. To qualify for this code, the fabric must be constructed through the interloping of yarns (knitting) rather than the interlacing of warp and weft (weaving). The category excludes pile fabrics (60.01), which have a raised surface, and fabrics with a high elastomeric content or narrow width (60.02-60.04). The material must consist primarily of wool or fine animal hair, such as mohair or cashmere. If the fabric is a blend, the wool component must be the heaviest textile constituent. This code is essential for distinguishing standard knit constructions like jersey or interlock from specialized technical textiles or woven goods found in Chapter 51.

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).
