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

HS code 600240 covers a specialized category of knitted or crocheted fabrics that are characterized by their narrow width and the presence of elastomeric yarn. These fabrics play a crucial role in the textile and apparel industries, providing stretchable and form-fitting properties that are highly sought after in various applications, from sportswear to medical garments.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 600240 typically involves knitting or crocheting techniques that incorporate elastomeric yarn. This process allows for the creation of fabrics with inherent stretch and recovery capabilities, which are essential for achieving the desired fit and comfort in the final products. Specialized machinery and skilled operators are required to ensure the precise control of yarn tension, stitch formation, and fabric structure during the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 600240 fabrics include high-quality elastomeric yarns, such as spandex or elastane, as well as other natural or synthetic fibers that are blended with the elastomeric component. Additionally, the production process requires specialized knitting or crocheting machines, as well as various auxiliary equipment and tools used for fabric finishing, dyeing, and quality control.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 600240 are primarily used in the manufacture of various apparel and textile products, including 610711 Men's or boys' underpants and briefs, 610721 Women's or girls' briefs and panties, 611420 Other garments, knitted or crocheted, and 901890 Instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences, n.e.c..
