HTS heading 6002 is a broad product category for narrow knitted or crocheted fabrics. To fit this heading, the fabric must be no wider than 30 cm, contain at least 5% elastomeric yarn or rubber thread by weight, and not be a fabric of heading 6001. Examples may include narrow elastic knitted fabrics, but the exact classification depends on the product’s construction and fiber content.
The 4-digit heading is only the starting point. To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, review the subheadings and statistical provisions under heading 6002, which commonly distinguish products by the material or type of yarn and other listed characteristics. Confirm the fabric’s width, fiber composition, construction, and whether any heading 6001 exclusion applies; when the wording is difficult or the product is unusual, obtain a customs broker’s or classification specialist’s review.
What to check
- Measure the fabric in its imported condition and confirm that its width does not exceed 30 cm.
- Obtain supplier documentation showing the exact fiber composition by weight, including the percentage of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread.
- Verify that the product is knitted or crocheted fabric, rather than a finished garment, trim, cord, tape, or another article classified elsewhere.
- Compare the product with the relevant heading 6001 provisions and confirm that the heading 6001 exclusion does not apply.
- Read every lower-level subheading and statistical description under heading 6002, then document why the selected 8-digit code matches the material and product type.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
