Last updated: April 2026 dataNarrow knit and crochet fabrics containing rubber thread — or at least 5% elastomeric yarn combined with rubber thread — and not exceeding 30 cm in width are classified here when not covered by heading 6001. China is the leading US supplier, followed by Mexico and Taiwan. The heading's cotton line (6002904000) is separated from other fiber types, with the non-cotton group further divided into warp-knit (6002908020) and remaining constructions (6002908080). Mexico's prominence reflects nearshore production of elastic trim components for the North American apparel and medical-device industries, where USMCA origin rules can affect duty treatment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The importer should obtain a mill certificate or laboratory analysis confirming the presence of rubber thread in the fabric construction. If rubber thread is confirmed, the goods fall under 600290; if elastomeric yarn is present but no rubber thread, the correct heading is 600240. This distinction should also be reflected on the commercial invoice and packing list.
Goods originating in Mexico may qualify for preferential treatment under USMCA, provided they meet the applicable rules of origin — typically a yarn-forward requirement for knitted fabrics. Importers should work with a licensed customs broker to confirm that the specific fabric meets USMCA tariff shift and regional value content criteria before claiming the preference.
