Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 60 covers knitted or crocheted fabrics. India exports cotton and blended knitted fabric from Tiruppur and Ludhiana that feeds both its own garment industry and overseas apparel makers. Subheadings separate the fabrics by construction — pile, warp-knit, long-pile and other knits — and by fibre, determining their use in T-shirts, hosiery and activewear.
How to read this code
60 is the two-digit HS chapter for fabrics. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many textiles & textile articles lines — check our import guides for your market.
