6001.21.00.00 - Of cotton (224)

This HTS category, 6001.21.00.00, specifically covers looped pile fabrics that are knitted or crocheted and are exclusively composed of cotton. These fabrics are characterized by the presence of loops on one or both sides, which are integral to the knitted or crocheted structure, creating a soft texture and potential for absorbency or warmth. Examples within this classification would include cotton terry cloth used for towels and bathrobes, as well as cotton velour or other plush fabrics with a looped pile construction.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its siblings. HTS code 6001.22.00.00 pertains to similar looped pile, knitted or crocheted fabrics made from man-made fibers, while 6001.29.00.00 covers such fabrics derived from other textile materials like wool, silk, or linen. The defining factor for classification under 6001.21.00.00 is the 100% cotton content of the fabric.

As this node represents a leaf classification within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, precise identification relies on confirming the fabric's construction (knitted or crocheted, looped pile) and its material composition (100% cotton). Any deviation in fiber content or construction would necessitate reclassification under a different HTS code.
