Analysis
Subheading 6002.90 covers other, within heading 6002. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 8% to 8.8% with a median of 8.4%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 6002.90.40 for other: of cotton (222) (8.8%) and 6002.90.80 for other: other (8%).
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.
Goods only reach 6002.90 once they fall within heading 6002 (knitted or crocheted fabrics of a width not exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
