1. Scope and Applicability

This rule covers made-up gloves, shawls, scarves, veils, ties, cravats, other clothing accessories whose defining textile construction is knitted or crocheted, and knitted or crocheted garment or accessory parts sold as standalone products. The boundary ends at the accepted factory-gate product. Each data package declares its actual article, fibre composition, knit technology, purchased-fabric or on-site knitting route, finishing, joining, and packaging. Nonknitted articles and complete garments use their own category rules.

2. Product Category Identity

The cotton route below contains concrete foreground exchanges. Other fibres, finishing agents, or trims require separate atomic flows for their real material and process after UUID review; cotton rows are not proxies for them. Interprocess transfers are recorded as paired outputs and inputs and cancel in the aggregate.
