Last updated: April 2026 dataTulle and net fabrics occupy a distinct structural niche: they are formed by knotting or twisting threads at their intersections to create an open mesh, explicitly excluding woven, knitted, or crocheted constructions. Tulle — the fine hexagonal-mesh fabric associated with bridal wear, ballet costumes, and millinery — is the most commercially prominent article here, though industrial netting and decorative mesh also fall within scope. The exclusion of knitted and crocheted nets is a frequent classification pitfall; importers should confirm the fabric's formation method before entry. Fiber content (silk, nylon, polyester) affects duty rates but does not change the structural classification criterion.

The key test is the method of fabric formation: tulle and net fabrics are produced by twisting or knotting yarns at their intersections, creating a stable open mesh without interlocking loops. Knitted mesh, by contrast, is formed by interlocking loops and is classified under knitted fabric headings. Laboratory analysis of the fabric structure may be requested if the formation method is not evident from documentation.
At the SITC level, fiber content does not change the heading assignment — all tulle and net fabrics of this structural type fall here regardless of whether they are made from silk, nylon, polyester, or other fibers. However, at the HTS 10-digit level used for US entry, fiber content typically determines the specific tariff line and applicable duty rate, so accurate fiber disclosure on the commercial invoice is essential.
