Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 6001.91.00?
HS Code 6001.91.00 covers other pile fabrics, knitted or crocheted, of cotton (Cotton velour / Brushed cotton fleece / Sweatshirt fleece). In commercial practice these goods are traded as Brushed Cotton Fleece made of 100% Cotton Brushed Fleece, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as brushed fleece, 3 end fleece, cotton velour.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 60 (Knitted or Crocheted Fabrics), then Heading 6001 (Pile fabrics, including "long pile" fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted) and Subheading 6001.91 (Other pile fabrics, of cotton), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 6001.91.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, 100% Cotton Brushed Fleece and Brushed Cotton Fleece.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (100% Cotton Brushed Fleece) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 6001.91.00
- Commercial invoice: print 6001.91.00 next to the item description (Brushed Cotton Fleece) with the material composition (100% Cotton Brushed Fleece) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
