Last updated: July 2026 dataSynthetic fiber narrow knits — polyester, nylon, and acrylic trims, tapes, and braids not exceeding 30 cm wide — are classified here when outside headings 6001 and 6002. Germany leads US supply under this heading, a notable distinction from most textile categories, reflecting Germany's role as a precision manufacturer of technical narrow fabrics used in automotive, medical, and industrial applications. China and Canada are also significant sources. The heading splits between open-work constructions (6003301000) and other knitted fabrics (6003306000), with technical narrow fabrics often falling in the latter group.

Germany's prominence reflects its specialized technical textile industry, which produces high-specification narrow fabrics for automotive seat belts, medical compression bandages, and industrial strapping. These applications demand precise elasticity, tensile strength, and dimensional stability that German manufacturers have historically supplied to US OEMs and medical device companies.
The key criterion is elastomeric yarn content: if the fabric contains 5% or more by weight of elastomeric yarn, it falls under heading 6002 (specifically 600240 if no rubber thread is present), regardless of whether the base fiber is synthetic. Heading 600330 applies to synthetic fiber narrow knits where elastomeric yarn content is below the 5% threshold.
