6001.92.00.40 - Other (224)

This classification covers knitted or crocheted pile fabrics, including those with a long pile and terry fabrics, that are not velour and are manufactured from man-made fibers. Specifically, it encompasses pile fabrics where the pile is not formed in a manner characteristic of velour, and where the fabric is constructed using yarns derived from artificial or synthetic fibers. This category serves as a residual for man-made fiber pile fabrics not otherwise specified.

The distinction from its sibling category, 6001.92.00.30 "Velour," lies in the specific construction and aesthetic of the pile. Velour, as a distinct category, typically refers to knitted or crocheted fabrics that mimic the appearance and feel of velvet, often with a dense, short, and even pile. This current classification, conversely, includes a broader range of pile constructions and textures within man-made fibers, provided they do not meet the specific criteria for velour.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions within this code will rely on a thorough examination of the fabric's construction, the type of man-made fiber used, and the method by which the pile is created, ensuring it does not fall into more specific or alternative classifications within Chapter 60.
