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 diverse range of knitted or crocheted fabrics that are less than 30 cm in width, excluding those classified under headings 60.01 and 60.02. These fabrics play a crucial role in the textile and apparel industries, providing the raw materials for a wide variety of products, from clothing and accessories to home furnishings and industrial applications. Understanding the characteristics and production processes of these fabrics is essential for businesses involved in import, export, and manufacturing within the global textile supply chain.

Production process

Knitted and crocheted fabrics classified under HS code 6003 are produced using specialized machinery and techniques. The key steps in their production include yarn preparation, knitting or crocheting, and finishing processes such as dyeing, printing, or embroidery. Knitting involves the interlocking of yarn loops to create a flexible, stretchable fabric, while crocheting uses a hook to interlock yarn loops in a more intricate pattern. These production methods allow for the creation of a wide range of fabric structures, textures, and designs to meet the diverse needs of the textile industry.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 6003 fabrics requires several key inputs, including high-quality yarns, knitting or crocheting machines, and various finishing chemicals and equipment. The choice of yarn, whether natural fibers like cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, can significantly impact the final fabric properties. Specialized knitting or crocheting machines, often computerized, are essential for the efficient and precise creation of these narrow-width fabrics. Additionally, finishing processes may involve dyes, printing inks, and other chemicals to enhance the fabric's appearance, durability, and functionality.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 6003 are primarily used as raw materials for the production of a wide range of textile and apparel products. These fabrics may be further processed and incorporated into 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), 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), and a variety of other knitted or crocheted garments and accessories.
