6001.10.20.00 - Of man-made fibers (224) 🖩

This category encompasses knitted or crocheted "long pile" fabrics made entirely from man-made fibers. These fabrics are characterized by having pile threads that are noticeably longer than those in other types of pile fabrics. The distinction of "long pile" refers to a pile length that is significantly more pronounced, often creating a plush or shaggy appearance. Examples include knitted faux fur fabrics with extended pile strands or specific types of shaggy knit textiles manufactured from synthetic materials like polyester, acrylic, or nylon.

Within the broader classification of knitted or crocheted pile fabrics, this subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 6001.10.60.00 "Other," by its specific focus on the length of the pile and the exclusive use of man-made fibers. While "Other" might encompass pile fabrics with shorter piles or those made from natural fibers or blends not meeting the "long pile" definition, this category is strictly for extended pile lengths using synthetic materials. The defining characteristic is the visual and tactile impression of considerable pile height, a key criterion for distinguishing it from less voluminous pile fabrics.

As this node is a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this specific code is determined by the combination of the fabric being knitted or crocheted, possessing a "long pile" characteristic, and being composed solely of man-made fibers.
