6001.91.00.10 - Over 271 grams per square meter (224)

This HTS classification, 6001.91.00.10, specifically covers knitted or crocheted pile fabrics, including long pile and terry fabrics, that are made of cotton and have a weight exceeding 271 grams per square meter. These fabrics are characterized by their raised loops or cut pile, which can provide softness, absorbency, or a plush texture. Examples include cotton toweling used for bathrobes and beach towels, as well as cotton velour and other heavy-weight napped fabrics.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 6001.91.00.20, which covers "Other" pile fabrics of cotton. While this classification focuses on the specific weight threshold of over 271 grams per square meter, the sibling category would encompass cotton pile fabrics that do not meet this specific weight criterion, regardless of whether they are knitted or crocheted pile, long pile, or terry fabrics. The key differentiator for 6001.91.00.10 is its precise weight specification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends at this specific level, meaning that any knitted or crocheted cotton pile fabric weighing over 271 grams per square meter will fall under this heading. Therefore, understanding the definition of pile fabrics (including long pile and terry), the knitted or crocheted construction, the cotton fiber content, and the specified weight threshold is crucial for accurate classification into this category.
