About fabrics; knitted or crocheted
HS code 60 covers a wide range of knitted or crocheted fabrics, which are an essential component of the global textile and apparel industry. These fabrics are known for their versatility, comfort, and ability to be shaped into a variety of garments and products. The knitted and crocheted fabric industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing raw materials for the manufacturing of clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications.
Production process
The production of knitted or crocheted fabrics typically involves the use of specialized machinery, such as knitting machines and crochet hooks. These machines manipulate yarn or thread into a series of interconnected loops, creating a flexible and stretchable fabric. The specific techniques used can vary, with different methods producing different textures, patterns, and properties to meet the diverse needs of the market.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of knitted or crocheted fabrics include various types of yarn, such as natural fibers (e.g., cotton, wool, silk) and synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon). Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, including knitting machines, crochet hooks, and other equipment necessary for the fabric-making process. Skilled labor, energy, and water resources are also important inputs for this industry.
Production outputs
The knitted or crocheted fabrics produced under HS code 60 are used in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, including clothing (e.g., 61 Apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted, 62 Apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted), home textiles (e.g., 63 Textiles, made up articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags), and industrial applications (e.g., 59 Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics; textile articles of a kind suitable for industrial use).
