6001.92.00.30 - Velour (224)

This HTS category, 6001.92.00.30, specifically classifies velour fabrics that are knitted or crocheted. Velour is characterized by its soft, plush, and velvety surface, achieved through a knit construction that creates a pile. These fabrics are distinct from other pile fabrics within heading 6001 due to their specific texture and construction.

The crucial differentiator for this classification lies in the term "velour" itself, which denotes a knitted or crocheted fabric with a cut pile that simulates the appearance and feel of velvet. Unlike terry fabrics which have loops designed for absorbency, or other pile fabrics that might have different pile densities or textures, velour is primarily defined by its dense, short, and soft cut pile, creating a smooth, velvety nap.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6001.92.00.30. Therefore, classification within this code hinges entirely on confirming the fabric meets the definition of velour and is of man-made fibers. Exclusions would include fabrics meeting the descriptions of other subheadings, such as terry toweling or fabrics with longer pile lengths.
