HTS heading 6003 is a broad product category for knitted or crocheted fabric that is no more than 30 cm wide. It excludes fabrics covered by heading 6001, which generally concerns pile fabrics, and heading 6002, which generally concerns narrow knitted or crocheted fabrics of certain specified widths and construction. The goods may be supplied in rolls, strips, or other forms, depending on the product and the applicable subheading language.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the fabric belongs in heading 6003. Then work through the lower-level subheadings, which commonly distinguish the textile material—such as synthetic or artificial fibers, cotton, wool, or other fibers—and may also distinguish the fabric’s construction or other characteristics. Classification can depend on details such as fiber composition, width, knitting method, and whether the item has features that place it in another heading. The current HTSUS wording and, when needed, a customs broker or binding ruling should be used for the final decision.
What to check
- Measure the fabric’s width as imported and confirm it does not exceed 30 cm.
- Verify that the product is knitted or crocheted, not woven, braided, or merely finished textile tape.
- Check whether pile construction or another feature puts the item in heading 6001 or 6002 instead.
- Document the fiber composition and identify the predominant or specified material required by the relevant subheading.
- Read every 8-digit subheading and its legal notes, and seek broker advice or a binding ruling when the construction or composition is unclear.

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.
