It is characterized by having been covered by rows of plastic discs that have been glued in place creating a pattern of plastic dots that match in color the loop pile created by the metalized yarns. The applicable subheading for the loop pile knit fabric will be 6001.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for pile fabrics, including “long pile” fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted, loop pile fabrics, of other textile materials. The duty rate will be 7.2% percent ad valorem. This knit pile fabric falls within textile category designation 414.
