HS v2017 Code: 6003

About fabrics; knitted or crocheted fabrics, other than those of heading 60.01 and 60.02, of a width not exceeding 30 cm,

HS code 6003 covers a wide range of knitted or crocheted fabrics that are less than 30 cm in width, excluding certain specialized fabrics. These fabrics are essential components in the textile and apparel industries, finding applications in clothing, accessories, and home furnishings. As a key part of the global textile supply chain, the production and trade of these fabrics play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 6003 typically involves knitting or crocheting techniques. Knitting involves the interlocking of yarn loops to create a fabric, while crocheting uses a hook to interlock loops of yarn or thread. These processes can be carried out using manual or automated machinery, depending on the scale and complexity of the operation. The specific techniques used may vary based on the desired fabric characteristics, such as texture, elasticity, and pattern.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 6003 fabrics include various types of yarn, such as natural fibers (e.g., cotton, wool, silk) or synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon). Knitting or crocheting machines, as well as accessories like needles and hooks, are also essential production inputs. Additionally, dyes, chemicals, and other finishing materials may be used to impart specific properties or aesthetics to the fabrics.

Production outputs

The fabrics produced under HS code 6003 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of clothing, accessories, and home textiles. These fabrics may be further processed, dyed, or finished to meet the specific requirements of downstream industries. Some of the related HS codes that may consume the output of 6003 fabrics include 6101 (Men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind-cheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, knitted or crocheted), 6102 (Women's or girls' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind-cheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, knitted or crocheted), and 6304 Other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 94.04.
