Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 6110 encompasses sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted. The classification distinguishes between wool/fine animal hair (6110.11-6110.19), cotton (6110.20), man-made fibers (6110.30), and other textile materials (6110.90). This essential knitwear category covers upper body garments constructed directly from knitted fabric or yarn. Products range from fine-gauge luxury cashmere sweaters to heavy fleece sweatshirts. Technical specifications vary widely based on market positioning, from basic warmth and durability metrics to complex performance standards for premium knitwear including pilling resistance, shape retention, and dimensional stability. Unlike cut-and-sew knitted garments, many items in this category are shaped during the knitting process through techniques such as fashioning (widening/narrowing) to create three-dimensional structures. This division represents both mass-produced basics and sophisticated knitwear engineering employing specialized knitting technologies and finishing processes.
