6003.10.10.00 - Open-work fabrics, warp knit (229)

This HTS category, 6003.10.10.00, specifically classifies open-work warp knit fabrics made from wool or fine animal hair, with a width not exceeding 30 centimeters. These fabrics are characterized by their construction where yarns are formed into loops along the length of the fabric, creating an open or meshed appearance. The distinction here lies in the specific knitting technique (warp knitting) and the open-work nature of the fabric, setting it apart from other knitted materials.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6003.10.90.00, which covers "other" warp knit fabrics of wool or fine animal hair of the same width. While both fall under the broader heading of knitted fabrics of wool or fine animal hair, the key differentiator is the presence of an open-work structure. Therefore, if the fabric exhibits a pattern of holes or transparency due to its knitting structure, it falls into this specific subcategory. If it does not have this open-work characteristic, it would be classified under the "other" sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 6003.10.10.00 is definitive based on the material (wool or fine animal hair), the knitting method (warp knit), the structural characteristic (open-work), and the width limitation (not exceeding 30 cm). Importers and exporters should carefully examine the fabric's construction and material composition to ensure accurate classification.
