Last updated: July 2026 dataNarrow elastic knit fabrics — waistbands, trim tapes, and technical strapping — fall under this heading when width does not exceed 30 cm, elastomeric yarn content is at least 5% by weight, and no rubber thread is present. The US schedule distinguishes cotton constructions (6002404000) from other fiber types, with the non-cotton lines further split between warp-knit (6002408020) and all other constructions (6002408080). China is the dominant supplier, with Taiwan and India also significant. Because elastomeric content and construction method both drive classification, importers should retain fiber-content certifications and knitting-method declarations from mills.

Heading 600240 covers narrow knitted fabrics (≤30 cm wide) that contain 5% or more elastomeric yarn but no rubber thread. Heading 600290 covers the same width and elastomeric-content threshold but includes fabrics that do contain rubber thread. The presence or absence of rubber thread is therefore the decisive classification criterion between the two headings.
Yes, at the 10-digit level the non-cotton lines split warp-knit constructions (6002408020) from other knit constructions (6002408080). While both fall under the same HS6 heading, the 10-digit breakout can affect statistical reporting and, in some cases, trade-remedy applicability, so mills should specify the knitting method on commercial invoices.
