About fabrics; knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 60.01, of a width not exceeding 30cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread

HS code 6002 covers a specific category of knitted or crocheted fabrics that are characterized by their width and elastomeric content. These fabrics play a crucial role in the textile and apparel industries, providing stretchable and form-fitting materials for a wide range of products. As a key component in the global supply chain, the 6002 industry contributes to the manufacturing of various consumer and industrial goods, making it an important part of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of 6002 fabrics typically involves knitting or crocheting techniques. Knitting machines, often computerized, are used to create the desired fabric structure by interlocking a series of loops formed from yarn. Crocheting, on the other hand, uses a hook to manipulate the yarn, creating a more open and textured fabric. Both methods allow for the incorporation of elastomeric yarns or rubber threads, which provide the fabrics with their signature stretch and flexibility.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 6002 industry include various types of yarn, such as natural fibers (e.g., cotton, wool) and synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon). Elastomeric yarns and rubber threads are also essential components, as they contribute to the stretchable properties of the fabrics. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized knitting or crocheting machinery, as well as dyes, chemicals, and other finishing materials to create the desired fabric characteristics.

Production outputs

The 6002 industry produces a wide range of knitted or crocheted fabrics that are used in the manufacturing of various products, including clothing, sportswear, lingerie, and even industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed or combined with other materials to create finished goods. Some of the related HS codes that may consume the output of the 6002 industry 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 6115 (Pantyhose, tights, stockings, socks and other hosiery, including graduated compression hosiery (for example, stockings for varicose veins) and footwear without applied soles, knitted or crocheted).
