HS v2017 Code: 6004

About fabrics; knitted or crocheted fabrics of a width exceeding 30 cm, other than those of heading 60.01, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread

HS code 6004 covers a wide range of knitted or crocheted fabrics that are used in various industries, including apparel, home textiles, and industrial applications. These fabrics are characterized by their width exceeding 30 cm and their content of at least 5% elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, which gives them stretch and flexibility. The global market for these fabrics is significant, with applications across both developed and developing economies.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 6004 typically involves knitting or crocheting techniques. Knitting involves the interlocking of yarn loops to create a fabric, while crocheting uses a hook to create a fabric by looping and connecting yarn. These processes allow for the incorporation of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, which is essential for the desired stretch and flexibility properties of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 6004 fabrics include elastomeric yarn, rubber thread, and other natural or synthetic fibers. Specialized knitting or crocheting machines are also necessary to create the desired fabric structure. Additionally, dyes, finishes, and other chemicals may be used to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities to the final fabric.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 6004 are used in a wide range of applications, including 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), 6103 (Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted), and 6104 (Women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted). These fabrics may also be used in the production of various home textile products and industrial applications.
