Chapter 60 covers fabrics; knitted or crocheted: the knit-construction counterpart to the woven fabrics found across chapters 50-55 and 58, used mainly as an input to knitted apparel (chapter 61). Classification tip: Pile fabrics (like fleece) and plain knit fabrics sit on different subheadings, so confirm the knit structure rather than treating all knitted fabric as a single generic category.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

Heading 60.01 covers fabrics; pile fabrics, including long pile fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted. It is part of chapter 60 (fabrics; knitted or crocheted), and it is subdivided into 7 six-digit subheadings — the level you actually declare.
Pick one of the 7 subheadings below. Those six digits are what customs recognises internationally; the importing country may extend them to eight or ten in its own tariff schedule.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XI and to chapter 60. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
