Fabrics, knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of heading 60.01 and 60.02, of a width not exceeding 30 cm, of wool or fine animal hair.
Classification of wool knit trim under HS 6003.10
HS code 6003.10 applies to knitted or crocheted fabrics made of wool or fine animal hair with a width not exceeding 30 centimeters. This classification falls under Chapter 60, which encompasses various types of knitted or crocheted fabrics. Heading 6003 is specifically designated for fabrics with a narrow width, distinguishing them from broader textile rolls. The classification is highly technical, requiring precise measurement of the fabric's width in its relaxed state. The material composition must be predominantly wool or fine animal hair, such as mohair, alpaca, or cashmere. These trims are often used in the garment industry for edging, decorative borders, or structural reinforcement in high-end apparel. Unlike finished garments, these are considered intermediate textile products. The exclusion criteria for this code are also specific; it does not include fabrics containing 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, which would move the classification to heading 6002. Furthermore, it excludes pile fabrics, which are classified under 6001. The classification ensures that narrow knit fabrics are tracked separately from bulk fabric rolls, allowing for more granular trade data regarding textile components and trimmings.

Codes often confused with 6003.10
Common mistake. This code is often confused with HS code 6006.10, which covers knitted or crocheted wool fabrics of a width exceeding 30 cm. Another common misclassification is 5806.39, which covers narrow woven fabrics; the difference is the construction method (knitted vs. woven). Additionally, if the trim contains more than 5% elastomeric yarn, it must be classified under 6002.40 instead of 6003.10.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
