Questions
HS code 600240: common questions
What is HS code 600240?
HS code 600240 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Knitted or crocheted fabrics of a width not exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5 % or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, other than those of heading 6001 : Containing by weight 5 % or more of elastomeric yarn, but not containing rubber thread". The first two digits (60) are the chapter — Knitted or crocheted fabrics — and digits 3-4 (6002) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 600240?
Common products classified under 600240 include elastic knit fabric, stretch knit tape, elastane knit, spandex knit, narrow elastic, elastic bandage fabric and similar items matching containing by weight 5 % or more of elastomeric yarn. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 600240?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 600240 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (600240) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
