Fleece fabric harmonized system code

Product Overview Fleece Fabric under HS Code 6001 refers to a type of textile made from synthetic fibers, often polyester, which is renowned for its exceptional warmth and lightweight characteristics. The fabric is created through a process known as knitting, which involves interlocking yarns to form a dense, durable material with a soft, woolly texture. Under the HS Code 6001, Fleece Fabric is further classified into several subcategories based on the material used, pile length, and weight per sq meter, which are essential for identifying its specific characteristics and applications. This product enjoys significant usage in various sectors including clothing manufacturers, home textiles, and outdoor equipment due to its inherent properties of thermal insulation, breathability, and moisture resistance. In terms of market positioning, Fleece Fabric offers a unique value proposition due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility, giving it a competitive edge in the international textile market. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications Fleece Fabric falls under the complete 6-digit HS Code 6001.22, with the Chapter 60 referring to "Knitted or crocheted fabrics", Heading 01 for "Pile fabrics, including 'long pile' fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted", and Subheading 22 for "Of man-made fibres". The rationale for this specific classification is based on the fabric's knitted nature, pile characteristics, and synthetic composition. In terms of trade considerations, Fleece Fabric is typically packaged in rolls or bales to preserve its quality and facilitate transportation. Shipping requirements often entail temperature-controlled environments to prevent exposure to extreme weather conditions. Quality standards for Fleece Fabric are typically set by international textile associations, with key measurable attributes including fiber content, weight, width, and colorfastness.
