Last updated: April 2026 dataKnitted or crocheted construction is the defining classification criterion here, separating jersey-knit fitted sheets, stretch pillowcases, and similar articles from the far larger woven bed-linen trade. The knitted fabric structure — which gives these products their characteristic stretch and drape — is assessed at the fabric-formation stage, not the finished-article stage, for classification purposes. Hospitality and direct-to-consumer bedding brands sourcing knit-construction sheets should confirm fabric construction documentation is available, as customs may request evidence distinguishing knitted from woven substrates.

Inspectors examine the fabric structure: knitted fabrics are formed by interlocking loops of yarn and typically exhibit stretch, while woven fabrics are formed by interlacing warp and weft threads and are generally non-stretch. Fabric-construction test reports or mill certificates can support classification when the distinction is not visually obvious.
At the SITC 65841 level, all fiber types are grouped together under the knitted/crocheted construction criterion. However, at the HTS 10-digit level used for US import entry, fiber content (cotton, man-made fiber, etc.) creates separate subheadings with potentially different duty rates, so fiber documentation remains important.
