Last updated: April 2026 dataCut-pile and other non-looped cotton knit pile fabrics — distinct from terry-loop constructions — are subdivided in the US schedule by areal weight: fabrics over 271 g/m² (6001910010) and those under 271 g/m² (6001910020), a distinction that reflects differences in end-use density and fabric hand relevant to apparel and upholstery buyers. China leads US imports under this heading, with Canada and India also significant sources. The weight-based split means importers must have reliable areal weight test data to file the correct 10-digit line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Areal weight is measured per ASTM or ISO standard test methods on conditioned fabric samples. If a single shipment contains rolls of varying weights that fall on both sides of the 271 g/m² threshold, each weight category must be entered separately under the appropriate 10-digit HTS code. Mixing both weights under a single line is a classification error that can result in penalties.
Cut-pile cotton knit fabrics (6001.91) are used primarily in velour apparel, upholstery, and plush toy surfaces where a smooth, velvety hand is desired. Looped pile cotton knit fabrics (6001.21) are preferred for toweling and bathrobes where moisture absorption is the priority. The structural difference — cut versus intact loops — is both the classification criterion and the functional differentiator for buyers.
