HTS heading 6004 is a broad product category for knitted or crocheted fabrics that are more than 30 cm wide and contain at least 5% elastomeric yarn or rubber thread by weight. It excludes fabrics classified in heading 6001, which generally covers certain pile or terry-type knitted fabrics. The heading can cover fabrics made from different textile materials and constructions, but the goods must meet the heading’s width and stretch-material conditions.
To choose the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the heading and then follow the subheading structure. The more detailed code usually depends on factors such as the fiber or material composition and the fabric’s construction or type. Use the HTSUS wording, legal notes, and applicable classification guidance—not just a product name—to match the merchandise. The final classification may require a customs broker or other qualified professional, especially for blended or unusual fabrics.
What to check
- Measure the fabric in its imported condition and confirm that its width exceeds 30 cm; document how the measurement was taken.
- Obtain a supplier specification or laboratory result showing the fiber breakdown by weight, including the percentage of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread.
- Confirm the fabric is knitted or crocheted, and identify its construction; do not assume that every stretch fabric belongs in heading 6004.
- Check whether the fabric is excluded because it belongs in heading 6001, and review the relevant section, chapter, and heading notes.
- Compare the complete HTSUS descriptions at the 8-digit level and retain product records, samples, and classification reasoning for customs review.

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.
