Last updated: August 2026 dataKnitted and crocheted fabrics not exceeding 30 cm in width — a dimension threshold that distinguishes them from broad fabrics and places them in a distinct classification lane for duty and quota purposes. These non-pile, uncoated constructions are used in trimmings, waistbands, cuffs, and specialty apparel components where narrow-format knit structure is specified. Importers should note that width measurement at the time of entry is the controlling classification factor, and mixed-fiber compositions may shift the applicable tariff line. Accurate fiber-content declarations are essential for correct duty assessment under US textile tariff schedules.

Width is measured in the condition as imported — typically the selvedge-to-selvedge dimension of the fabric as presented. Fabrics that are folded or rolled but whose actual width exceeds 30 cm would fall outside this heading, so accurate measurement and documentation at the time of shipment are critical.
Yes. The applicable HTS tariff line and corresponding duty rate can vary based on the predominant fiber by weight (e.g., cotton, man-made fiber, wool). Importers should ensure fiber-content test reports accompany the commercial invoice to support correct classification.
