About Chapter 60
Chapter 60 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Knitted or crocheted fabrics”. It is part of Section XI, Textiles & Textile Articles, together with Chapter 50 (silk), Chapter 51 (wool, fine or coarse animal hair), Chapter 52 (cotton), Chapter 53 (other vegetable textile fibres), Chapter 54 (man-made filaments), Chapter 55 (man-made staple fibres), Chapter 56 (wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns), Chapter 57 (carpets and other textile floor coverings), Chapter 58 (special fabrics, lace and embroidery), Chapter 59 (impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics), Chapter 61 (articles of apparel and clothing accessories), Chapter 62 (articles of apparel and clothing accessories) and Chapter 63 (other made up textile articles; sets).
The chapter is divided into 6 headings, from 6001 (pile fabrics, including "long pile" fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted) to 6006 (other knitted or crocheted fabrics). The headings with the most codes that people search for are warp knit fabrics, other than those of headings 6001 to 6003 (6005), pile fabrics, including "long pile" fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted (6001) and other knitted or crocheted fabrics (6006).
Note 1 sends crochet lace to heading 5804 and knitted labels and badges to heading 5807, and Note 2 brings in fabrics of metal thread of a kind used in apparel or as furnishing fabrics.
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 8 codes in this chapter, each with its full classification: its chapter, heading and sub-heading, and the codes beside it.
Every code in this chapter begins with 60: four digits make a heading, six a sub-heading, and eight a tariff item of India's Customs Tariff. How many of those digits a GST tax invoice shows depends on the business, not the goods: under Notification No. 78/2020 – Central Tax, from 1 April 2021, four digits where aggregate turnover in the previous financial year was up to ₹5 crore, and six above it. Up to ₹5 crore, the code may be left off invoices to unregistered buyers.
No GST rate is shown here. GST rates were revised in September 2025, and a rate appears on this site only once it has been checked against the CBIC rate notifications.
