6001
Pile fabrics, including "long pile" fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted
Analysis
Heading 6001 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers pile fabrics, including "long pile" fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted. It divides into 7 six-digit subheadings and 9 eight-digit tariff lines, with 13 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 14.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 18.5%, applies to 6001.91.00 (other: of cotton).
None of its 9 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 4% to 18.5% with a median of 9.8%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 6001.10 ("Long pile" fabrics, 2 lines), 6001.99 (of other textile materials, 2 lines), 6001.21 (unnamed, 1 line) and 6001.22 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of 9.8% sits at the 28th percentile of the headings in chapter 60.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Knit Fabric Mills (313240). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
